Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus! How vast Thy love to me;
I'll bathe in its full ocean to all eternity;
And, wending on to glory, this all my song shall be,
"I was a guilty sinner, but JESUS died for me.”
O Calvary! O Calvary! the thorn-crown and the spear;
'Tis here Thy love, my Savior, in flowing wounds appear;
O! depths of grace and mercy, to Thy dear side I flee;
"I was a guilty sinner, but JESUS died for me.”
Adore Him, adore Him, the glorious work is done;
He paid the debt He bore the load God's holy, sinless Son!
"'Tis finished," cried His suffering soul, and I my title see;
"I was a guilty sinner, but JESUS died for me.”
In glory, in glory, "forever with the Lord,”
With joyful heart this glad refrain I'll sing with loud accord;
With all the ransomed hosts I'll praise His name eternally:
"I was a guilty sinner, but JESUS died for me.”
