Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith!

Author: Faber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:25-26 Lyrics: 1 Oh, gift of gifts! oh, grace of faith! My God, how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me? 2 There was a place, there was a time, Whether by night or day, Thy Spirit came, and left that gift, And went upon his way. 3 How many hearts thou might'st have had, More innocent than mine! How many souls more worthy far Of that sweet touch of mine. 4 Oh, happy, happy that I am! If thou canst be, O faith, The treasure that thou art in life, What wilt thou be in death? 5 This choice, O God of goodness, then, I lovingly adore; Oh, give me grace to keep thy grace, And grace to merit more.

Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 2 Thou, ah! Thou hast taken on thee bonds and stripes, a cruel rod; pain and scorn were heaped upon thee, 0 thou sinless Son of God! Thus didst thou my soul deliver from the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only that my wounds might all be whole; thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, rest to give my weary soul; yea, the curse of God enduring, blessing unto me securing. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround thee, treating thee with cruel scorn, and with piercing thorns they crowned thee. All disgrace thou, Lord, hast borne that as thine thou mightest own me and with heav'nly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise thee that from pain I might be free; falsely did thy foes accuse thee: thence I gain security. Comfortless thy soul did languish me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 6 Thou hast suffered great affliction and hast borne it patiently, even death by crucifixion, fully to atone for me. Thou didst choose to be tormented that my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, dearest Jesus, unto thee. 7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, for thy sorrows deep and sore, for thine anguish in the garden, I will thank thee evermore, thank thee for thy groaning, sighing, for thy bleeding and thy dying, for that last triumphant cry and shall praise thee, Lord, on high.
