And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For sinners such as I?
Refrain:
O how I love Jesus!
O how I love Jesus!
O how I love Jesus!
Because He first loved me.
2 Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin. [Refrain]
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.
I'll never forget Him,
I'll never forget Him,
I'll never forget Him
O Lord, remember me! Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Consecration; Cross; Jesus Passion; Love; Loyalty Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-5 Used With Tune: O HOW I LOVE JESUS
