O Lord, what love for sinners Thou hast shown,
To give Thy life for those by sin undone;
But is that blood, which Both for sin atone,
For me?
Was it for guilty sinners such as I
That Thou, O Lord, didst suffer, bleed and die?
And is that grace, which Thou doest now supply
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 hast 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.
