O sinner, the Saviour is calling for thee

- O teach me what it meaneth,
- that cross uplifted high,
- with One, the Man of Sorrows,
- condemned to bleed and die!
- O teach me what it cost Thee
- to make a sinner whole;
- and teach me, Saviour, teach me
- the value of a soul!
- O teach me what it meaneth,
- that sacred crimson tide,
- the blood and water flowing
- from Thine own wounded side.
- Teach me that if none other
- had sinned, but I alone,
- yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus,
- Thine only, must atone.
- O teach me what it meaneth,
- Thy love beyond compare,
- the love that reacheth deeper
- than depths of self-despair!
- Yes, teach me, till there gloweth
- in this cold heart of mine,
- some feeble, pale reflection
- of that pure love of Thine.
- O teach me what it meaneth,
- for I am full of sin;
- and grace alone can reach me,
- and love alone can win.
- O teach me, for I need Thee,
- I have no hope beside,
- the chief of all the sinners
- for whom the Saviour died!
- O infinite Redeemer!
- I bring no other plea,
- because Thou dost invite me
- I cast myself on Thee.
- Because Thou dost accept me
- I love and I adore;
- because Thy love constraineth,
- I‟ll praise Thee evermore! ......
