Refrain: Oh, the love that sought me! Oh, the blood that bought me! Oh, the grace that brought me to the fold, Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold! 2 He washed the bleeding sin-wounds And poured in oil and wine; He whispered to assure me, “I’ve found thee, thou art Mine;” I never heard a sweeter voice; It made my aching heart rejoice! (Refrain) 3 He pointed to the nail-prints, For me His blood was shed, A mocking crown so thorny Was placed upon His head: I wondered what He saw in me, To suffer such deep agony. (Refrain) 4 I’m sitting in His presence, The sunshine of His face, While with adoring wonder His blessings I retrace: It seems as if eternal days Are far too short to sound His praise. (Refrain) 5 So while the hours are passing, All now is perfect rest; I'm waiting for the morning, The brightest and the best, When He will call us to His side, To be with Him, His spotless bride. (Refrain) Used With Tune: [In tenderness He sought me]

Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th'eternal throne, And claim the crown, thro' Christ my own. (Refrain) Amen. Used With Tune: SAGINA
