Text: | Let Thy Blood in Mercy Poured |
Translator: | John Brownlie |
Tune: | JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT |
Composer: | Johann Crüger |
1 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.
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
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. [Refrain]
