The Church Hymnal ‎#217

217. Let Thy blood in mercy poured

1 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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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.
