(1 Cor. 6:19, 20.)

Bought with a price "-so very great-
Jesus alone could pay,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt,
And take my sins away.
(Heb. 9:26.)

His precious blood, the awful price,
For me He freely gave :
And dare I doubt His tender love,
Or willing power to save?
(Rom. 8:35.)

He sought me, wandering far from God,
And took me by the hand
To lead me forth from endless woe,
Into the glory land.
(Eph. 2:13; Psalm 73:23, 24.)

So deep a debtor to His blood,
No wonder He should be
Most precious to my ransomed soul,
Now, and eternally.
(1 Pet. 2:7.)

But I!-ah, canst thou care for such-
So worthless, wayward, cold,
So slow of heart to apprehend
Thy love, and grace untold ?
(Mark 14:66-72; John 13:1.)

Can I be loved, and prized, by Thee?
Speak, Lord, oh, can it be? .
"Yes,-in proportion to the price
Which I have paid for thee."
(Zephaniah 3:17; Kev. 1:5.)

Then, Jesus, Lord, with joy I yield
Myself, my all, to Thee,
For Thou hast loved me unto death,
And given Thyself for me.
(Gal. 2:20.)
