SAVIOUR, the world's and mine,

By A Collection of Hymns


      2-6s & 4-7s.
      1 SAVIOUR, the world's and mine,
      Was ever grief like thine!
      Thou my pain, my curse hast took,
      All my sins were laid on thee;
      Help me, Lord; to thee I look,
      Draw me, Saviour, after thee.

      2 'Tis done! my God hath died;
      My Love is crucified!
      Break, this stony heart of mine;
      Pour, mine eyes, a ceaseless flood;
      Feel, my soul, the pangs divine;
      Catch, my heart, the issuing blood!

      3 When, O my God, shall I
      For thee submit to die?
      How the mighty debt repay?
      Rival of thy passion prove?
      Lead me in thyself, the Way;
      Melt my hardness into love.

      4 To love is all my wish,
      I only live for this;
      Grant me, Lord, my heart's desire,
      There by faith for ever dwell;
      This I always will require,
      Thee, and only thee, to feel.

      5 Thy power I pant to prove,
      Rooted and fixed in love;
      Strengthened by thy Spirit's might,
      Wise to fathom things divine,
      What the length, and breadth, and height,
      What the depth of love like thine.

      6 Ah! give me this to know,
      With all thy saints below;
      Swells my soul to compass thee,
      Gasps in thee to live and move;
      Filled with all the Deity,
      All immersed and lost in love!
