When My Lips Can Frame No Sound

When my lips can frame no sound

Savior

be my faith’s sure ground;

When my ears no long­er hear

May my spir­it know Thee near;

When my eyes no long­er see

May my soul still rest in Thee!

Lord

I trust my soul to Thee

Let Thy grace abide with me;

By the suf­fer­ing Thou hast known

Purge my sin be­fore the throne.

Let my con­science deep with­in

Feel that I am cleansed from sin.

Faithful God

I pray again

Give my pa­tience in my pain;

For Christ’s sake grant soft re­lease

Let Thy serv­ant pass in peace.

Then with all Thy saints ab­ove

Let me praise Thy bound­less love.
