Give me a sight , O Saviour, 

Of Thy wondrous love to me;

Of the love that brought Thee down [to earth,

To die on Calvary,

Help me to take it in;

What it meant to Thee, the Holy One,

To bear away my sin.

Was it the nails , O Saviour,

That bound Thee to the tree?

Nay, twas Thine everl asting love,

Thy love for me. for m.

Oh, wonder of all wonders, 

That thro’ Thy death for me,

My open sins, my secret sins 

Can all, forgiven be.

 

Verse 4

Then melt my heart, O Saviour

Bend me, yea, break me down 

Until I own Thee Conqueror,

And Lord and Sovereign crown.
