O Lord, what love for sinners Thou hast shown,
To give Thy life for those by sin undone:
But is that blood, which doth for sin atone,
For me?
Was it for guilty sinners such as I
That Thou, O Lord, didst stiffer, bleed, and die?
And is that grace which Thou dost now supply
For me?
Is it for me, who early went astray,
Who turned from God to tread a self
willed way?
Is it for me that mercy flows today?
For me?
If ‘tis the hopeless case Thou lov’st to meet,
If ‘tis a sinner Thou dost run to greet,
Then ‘tis for me to worship at Thy feet.
For me!
Yes, if my hope is placed in Thee alone;
Yes, if I trust in Thee, th’ Eternal Son;
Then ‘tis for me that work which Thou has done.
For me!
Yes, ‘twas for me, Lord Jesus, Thou didst come;
To me Thou givest pardon, peace, and home;
And, Saviour, on Thy loving breast there’s room
For me!
And till I meet Thee in that glory bright,
And when I walk with Thee in robe of white,
O Lord, I’ll find my sweet, my full delight
In Thee!
