|  | 1. | O blessd Savior, is Thy love | 
|  |  | So great! so full! so free! | 
|  |  | Fain would we have our thoughts, our hearts, | 
|  |  | Our lives, engaged with Thee. | 
|  | 2. | We love Thee for the glorious worth | 
|  |  | Which in Thyself we see; | 
|  |  | We love Thee for that 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 heav'nly glory crowned, | 
|  |  | Thou didst a servant's form assume, | 
|  |  | Beset with sorrow round. | 
|  | 5. | Thou wouldst like wretched man be made | 
|  |  | In everything but sin, | 
|  |  | That we as like Thee might become | 
|  |  | As we unlike had been: | 
|  | 6. | Like Thee in strength, in meekness, love, | 
|  |  | In life in ev'ry phase; | 
|  |  | >From glory into glory changed, | 
|  |  | Till we behold Thy face. | 
|  | 7. | O Lord, we treasure in our hearts | 
|  |  | The mem'ry of Thy love; | 
|  |  | And ever shall Thy name to us | 
|  |  | A grateful odor prove. |
