Chief of sinners tho' I be

Author: William McComb Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners tho' I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heavens above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Used With Tune: DIX (Treuer Heiland, wir sind hier)

Should I not love Thee well? Not for the sake of winning heaven, Nor of escaping hell; 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught; Not seeking a reward; But, as Thyself hast lovéd me, O ever loving Lord! 6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love, And in Thy praise will sing; Solely because Thou art my God, And my eternal King.
