What Manner Of Love He Hath Bestowed Upon Us!


Lord, to Thee my heart ascending
For Thy mercy full and free
Thankful sings for grace transcending
Grace vouchsafed to sinful me.
Even me, Even me,
Grace vouchsafed to sinful me!

Holy Father! who with yearning
Of eternal love didst see
Hatred in my bosom burning,
Thou didst give Thy Son for me.
Even me, even me,
Thou didst give Thy Son for me.

Precious Saviour! great Redeemer!
Praise, eternal praise to Thee;
Though so long a wandering sinner
Thou hast kindly welcomed me,
Even me, even me,
Thou hast kindly welcomed me.

But I'm lost in joyful wondering,
And I say, O can it be
That there will be no more sund'ring
'Twixt my blessed Lord and me?
Even me, even me,
'Twixt my blessed Lord and me.

Can it be that I an alien
Now a child shall ever be?
Can it be that all forgiven
Glory is prepared for me?
Even me, even me,
Glory is prepared for me.

Yes! for Jesus liveth ever,
And His blood hath made me free;
From His love no foe can sever
For He gave Himself for me.
Even me, even me,
For He gave Himself for me.

Lord I thank thee for salvation
Grace so mighty and so free;
Take my all in consecration,
Glorify Thyself in me.
Even me, even me,
Glorify Thyself in me..
