What Tho' I Cannot Break My Chain

(ARLINGTON. 8.6.8.6)
1.

What tho' I cannot break my chain
or e'er throw off my load,
the things impossible to men
are possible to God.

2.

Who, who shall in thy presence stand,
or match Omnipotence;
unfold the grasp of thy right hand
and pluck the sinner thence?

3.

Faith to be healed I fain would have,
O might it now be giv'n;
thou canst, thou canst the sinner save,
and make me meet for heav'n.

4.

Bound down with twice ten thousand ties,
yet let me hear thy call;
my soul in confidence shall rise,
shall rise and break through all.

5.

Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine,
thou wilt victorious prove;
for everlasting strength is thine,
and everlasting love.

This hymn is in the public domain.

Text as printed in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) (1990).
