Hymns of the Russian Church ‎#92

92. Let Thy blood in mercy poured

Let Thy blood in mercy poured,
Let Thy gracious body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord,
Of Thy boundless love the token;
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

Thou didst die that I might live;--
Blessed Lord, Thou cam'st to save me;
All that love of God could give,
Jesus by His sorrows gave me;--
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

93
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;
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

Wilt Thou own the gift I bring?
All my penitence I give Thee;
Thou art my exalted King,
Of Thy matchless love forgive me;--
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.
