He Loved Me

Once I was dead in sin

And hope within me died;

But now I’m dead to sin—

With Je­sus cru­ci­fied.

And can it be that He loved me

And gave Him­self for me?

And can it be that He loved me

And gave Him­self for me?

O height I can not reach

Oh depth I can not sound

Oh love

O bound­less love

In my Re­deem­er found.

Oh cold

un­grate­ful heart

That can from Je­sus turn

When liv­ing fires of love

Should on His al­tar burn.

I live—and yet

not I

But Christ that lives in me;

Who from the law of sin

And death hath made me free.
