Listen from:
AL 2:20{Three little sunbeams, gilding all 'I see;
Three little chords, each full of melody;
Three little leaves, balm for my agony.
"WHO"
He loved me, the Father's only Son;
He gave Himself, the precious, spotless One;
He shed His blood, and thus the work was done.
"LOVED"
He loved-not merely pitied. Here I rest.
Sorrow may come-I to His heart am pressed.
What should I fear while sheltered in His breast?
" ME."
Wonder of wonders, Jesus loved me;
A wretch—lost—ruined—sunk in misery.
He sought me, found me, raised me, set me free.
My soul, the order of the words approve:
Christ first, me last, nothing between but
LOVE. Lord, keep me always down, Thyself above.
Trusting to Thee, not struggling restlessly,
So shall I gain the victory—
" I—yet not I"—but Christ—" Who loved me."
