| 1 | O Jesus! everlasting God! | Jeremiah 1:1; Isaiah 9:6; Galatians 3:13; John 17:4 |
| Who didst for sinners shed Thy blood |
| Upon th' accursèd tree; |
| And, finishing redemption's toil, |
| Didst win for us the happy spoil— |
| All praise we give to Thee. |
|
| 2 | Fain would we think upon Thy pain, |
| Would find in Thee our life and gain, |
| And firmly fix our heart |
| Upon Thy grief and dying love, |
| Nor evermore from Thee remove, |
| Though from all else we part. |
|
| 3 | The more through grace ourselves we know, | Galatians 6:14; Psalm 84:11; Philippians 3:8 |
| The more rejoiced we are to bow |
| And glory in Thy cross; |
| To trust in Thine atoning blood, |
| And look to Thee for every good, |
| And count all else but dross. |
