I know by grace it is for me! It is for me, it is for me I know by grace it is for me. 2 The hand of Christ is holding forth A wondrous gift to me, The hand of faith appropriates, And says: “It is for me!” [Refrain] 3 The lips of Christ are whisp’ring, come, He waits to welcome me, His invitation faith accepts, And says: “It is for me!” [Refrain] 4 The arms of Christ are open wide, He beckons now to me, Faith gladly runs to His embrace, And says: “It is for me!” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [The face of Jesus Christ my Lord]

Robert Harkness

1880 - 1961 Composer of "[The face of Jesus Christ my Lord]" in Alexander's Hymns No. 3 After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
