Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour (116)

Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour,
My heart belongs to Thee;
Thou hast from sin relieved me,
From bondage set me free.
At home with Thee forever,
I’ll fully know Thy love,
And gaze upon Thy beauty-
Light of the courts above.

But what can e’er transcend, Lord,
The glory of Thy grace,
Shown in humiliation
When Thou didst take our place.
When on the accursed tree, Lord,
The judgment due to sin,
Jehovah’s sore affliction,
Consumed Thy soul within!

O Lord, how much I wove Thee,
I can not even say!
‘Tis past all computation-
A debt I ne’er can pay!
I would not if I could, Lord,
For then I should be free,
But Love, that paid my ransom,
Has made a slave of me.
