Give me a sight, O Savior,
|
|
| 1. | Give me a sight, O Savior, |
| | Of Thy wondrous love to me, |
| | Of the love that brought Thee down to earth, |
| | To die on Calvary. |
| | Oh, make me understand it, |
| | Help me to take it in, |
| | What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, |
| | To bear away my sin. |
| 2. | Was it the nails, O Savior, |
| | That bound Thee to the tree? |
| | Nay, 'twas Thine everlasting love, |
| | Thy love for me, for me. |
| | ?. Oh, wonder of all wonders, |
| | That through Thy death for me, |
| | My open sins, my secret sins, |
| | Can all forgiven be. |
| 4. | Then melt my heart, O Savior, |
| | Bend me, yea, break me down, |
| | Until I own Thee Conqueror, |
| | And Lord and Sov'reign crown |
