Touch Thou Mine Eyes

1. Touch thou mine eyes, the somber shadows falling Shut from my
2. Dark is the path, through desert places leading, Alone I
sight the kindly light of day! Out of the depths my soul to thee is
tread the wastes of doubt and fear; Fainting, I fall, with bruised feet and
calling, Touch thou mine eyes, I cannot see the way!
bleeding, O touch mine eyes, that I may know thee near!

3. Fain would I see, as in the olden story,
Thy shining hosts encamped on every side;
Angels of light, armed with thy power and glory,
To guard my steps, whatever may betide.
