515. O blessed Saviour, is thy love

1 O blessed Saviour, is thy love
So great, so full, so free?
Behold we give our thoughts, our hearts,
Our lives, our all, to thee.

2 We love thee for the glorious worth
Which in thyself we see;
We love thee for that cross of shame
Endured so patiently.

3 No man of greater love can boast
Than for his friend to die;
Thou for thine enemies wast slain;
What love with thine can vie?

4 Make us like thee in meekness, love,
And every beauteous grace,
From glory unto glory changed
Till we behold thy face.
