Author: Johann Christian Jacobi, 1670-1750; Ernst Christoph Homburg, 1605-1681 Hymnal: HLMC1969 #108 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Source of my salvation,
Conqueror both of death and hell,
Thou Who didst, as my Oblation,
Feel what I deserved to feel,
Through Thy sufferings, death, and merit,
I eternal life inherit;
Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee,
Dearest Lord, for ever be.
2 Lord, Thy deep humiliation
Has atoned for all my pride;
I need fear no condemnation,
Since for sinners Thou hast died.
Thou becam’st a curse, dear Savior,
To restore me to God’s favor;
Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee,
Dearest Lord, for ever be.
3 Lord, I’ll praise Thee now and ever,
Who for me wast crucified;
For Thy agony, dear Savior,
For Thy wounds and pierced side,
For Thy love, so tried, unending,
For Thy death, all deaths transcending.
For Thy death and love divine,
Lord, I’ll be for ever Thine. Topics: The Church Year The Season of Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ZURICH
