of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: Unknown author; translated from Greek to English by John Brownlie, 1907.
Music: "Luise," from Praxis Pietatis Melica, by Johann Crnger, 1653
Let Thy blood in mercy poured,
Let Thy gracious body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord,
Of Thy boundless love the token.
Refrain
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.
Thou didst die that I might live;
Blessèd Lord, Thou cam'st to save me:
All that love of God could give
Jesus by His sorrows gave me.
Refrain
By the thorns that crowned Thy brow,
By the spear wound and the nailing,
By the pain and death, I now
Claim, O Christ, Thy love unfailing.
Refrain
Wilt Thou own the gift I bring?
All my penitence I give Thee;
Thou art my exalted King,
Of Thy matchless love forgive me.
Refrain
