Let Thy Blood in Mercy Poured (CC 261)

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.

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.

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.

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.
