PASSION

INTRODUCTION

My Jesus I love Thee, I know thou art mine!

For Thee all the follies of sin I resign!

My gracious redeemer, my Savior art Thou;

If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus 'tis now!

REFRAIN

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light,

And the burden of my heart rolled away,

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day!

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

And did my Sov’reign die?

Would He devote that sacred head

For such a worm as I?

Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine

And bathed in its own blood

While the firm mark of wrath divine,

His Soul in anguish stood.

Was it for crimes that I had done

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity! grace unknown!

And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide

And shut his glories in,

When Christ, the mighty Maker died,

For man the creature’s sin.
