Chief of sinners though I be

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a287 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me; Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 O the hight of Jesus' love! Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting to eternity; Love that found me, wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Jesus only can impart Balm to heal the smitten heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiven; Joy that lifts the soul to heaven; Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me; All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. Safe with Him from earthly strife He sustains the hidden life. 5 O my Savior! help afford, By Thy Spirit and Thy Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die. Topics: The Catechism The Redeemer Languages: English

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a70 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living, Christ, the Death of death our foe, Who Thyself for us once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath But to save my soul from death; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. 2 Thou, ah Thou hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod, Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God; Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless, that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. 4 That Thou wast so meek and stainless Doth atone for my proud mood; And Thy death makes dying painless, All Thy ills have wrought our good; Yea, the shame Thou didst endure Is my honor and my cure: Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessed Jesus, brought to Thee. 5 There for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last most bitter cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.
