English text
- 1
- Let thy Blood in mercy poured,
- let thy gracious Body broken,
- be to me, O gracious Lord,
- of thy boundless love the token.
- Thou didst give thyself for me,
- now I give myself to thee.
- 2
- Thou didst die that I might live;
- blessed Lord, thou cam'st to save me;
- all that love of God could give
- Jesus by his sorrows gave me.
- Thou didst give thyself for me,
- now I give myself to thee.
- 3
- By the thorns that crowned thy brow,
- by the spear-wound and the nailing,
- by the pain and death, I now
- claim, O Christ, thy love unfailing.
- Thou didst give thyself for me,
- now I give myself to thee.
- 4
- Wilt thou own the gift I bring?
- All my penitence I give thee;
- thou art my exalted King,
- of thy matchless love forgive me.
- Thou didst give thyself for me,
- now I give myself to thee.
