80. Love, who fashioned me, the likeness

1 Love, who fashioned me, the likeness Of Thy God-head here to bear Me from fall and from transgression Didst restore with tender care: Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine to be eternally. 2 Love, by which I was selected Ere I saw the light of day; Love, whose goodness was reflected In man’s likeness and array; Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine to be eternally. 3 Love, which for my sin did suffer And which died, that I might live; Love, which grace to all does offer And eternal peace does give; Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine to be eternally. 4 Love which overcame and conquered My perverse and wayward heart; Love, by which I’m bound and anchored That from Thee I would not part; Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine to be eternally. 5 Love, that ever shall continue Step by step doth gently lead; Love, that sayeth: “Peace be with you,” And for me doth intercede; Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine to be eternally.
