GRH 422 Give Me a Sight, O Saviour

(1)
Give me a sight, O Saviour,
Of Thy wondrous love to me,
Of the love that brought Thee down to earth,
To die on Calvary.
O 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 Saviour,
That bound Thee to the tree?
Nay, ‘twas Thine everlasting love,
Thy love for me, for me.
O make me understand it,
Help me to take it in,
What it meant to Thee, the Holy One,
To bear away my sin.

(3)
O wonder of all wonders,
That thro’ Thy death for me,
My open sins, my secret sins,
Can all forgiven be!
O make me understand it,
Help me to take it in,
What it meant to Thee, the Holy One,
To bear away my sin.

(4)
Then melt my heart, O Saviour,
Bend me, yes, break me down,
Until I own Thee Conqueror,
And Lord and Sovereign crown.
O make me understand it,
Help me to take it in,
What it meant to Thee, the Holy One,
To bear away my sin.
