O blessed Saviour! Is Thy love
73
C.M. 1 O blessed Saviour! Is Thy love So great, so full, so free? Fain would we give our hearts, our minds, Our lives, our all, to Thee. 2 We love Thee for the glorious worth Which in Thyself we see; We love Thee for the shameful Cross Endured so patiently. 3 No man of greater love can boast Than for his friend to die; Thou for Thine enemies wast slain! What love with Thine can vie? 4 Though in the very form of God, With heavenly glory crowned, Thou didst partake of human flesh, Beset with sorrows round. 5 Thou wouldst like sinful man be made In everything but sin, That we as like Thee might become, As we unlike have been, 6 Like Thee in faith, in meekness, love, In every heavenly grace, More of Thine image daily gain, Till we behold Thy face. 7 O Lord! we treasure in our souls The memory of Thy love; And ever may Thy Name to us A grateful odour prove.
