Hymns from the East ‎#28

28. Let Thy Blood in mercy poured

I
Let Thy Blood in mercy poured,
Let thy gracious Body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord
Of Thy boundless love the token;
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

II
Thou didst die that I might live;—
Blessed Lord Thou cam’st to save me;
All that love of God could give,
Jesus by His sorrows gave me;—
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

III
By the thorns that crowned Thy brow,
By the spear wound and the nailing;
By the pain and death I now
Claim, O Christ, Thy love unfailing;
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.

IV
Wilt Thou own the gift I bring?
All my penitence I give Thee;
Thou art my exalted King,
Of Thy matchless love forgive me;—
Thou didst give Thyself for me,
Now I give myself to Thee.
