When My Lips Can Frame No Sound

Public domain
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.
