Text and translations

English text translated from Greek, in Hymns from the East, 1907 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.
