GIVE me a sight, O Saviour, Of Thy wondrous love to me, Of the love that brought Thee down to earth, To die on Calvary.
O make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, To bear away my sin.
Was it the nails, O Saviour, That bound Thee to the tree? No, ’twas Thine everlasting love, Thy love for me, for me.
O wonder of all wonders, That through Thy death for me My open sins, my secret sins, Can all forgiven be!
Then melt my heart, O Saviour, Bend me and break me down, Until I own Thee Conqueror, And Lord and Sovereign crown.
Katherine Agnes May Kelly, 1869-1942
