188. Let Thy Blood in mercy poured

1 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.

2 Thou didst die that I might live;
Blessèd 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.

3 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.

4 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.

Amen.
