Translator: John Brownlie
Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT
Composer: Johann Crüger
1 Let thy blood in mercy poured,
Let thy gracious body broken,
Be to me, O gracious Lord,
Of thy boundless love the token:
Refrain:
Thou didst give thyself for me,
Now I give myself to thee.
2 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: (Refrain)
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: (Refrain)
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: (Refrain)
