The Love That Rescued Me

lyricist: Etta Cloud, 1882
Composer: John Sweney

Lord

I come

I wait no long­er;

Lo! I give my­self to Thee;

Thou hast fin­ished my re­demp­tion;

Thou hast res­cued ev­en me.

O

the mer­cy so am­az­ing;

O

the grace so full and free;

O

the love so strong and bound­less

That could res­cue ev­en me.

Let me tell the won­drous sto­ry;

Let me tell of Cal­va­ry;

Of the won­der­ful com­pas­sion

That could res­cue ev­en me.

See! the cru­el nails are driv­en

Through the Sav­ior’s hands and feet;

See Him dy­ing! Hear Him say­ing

All is fin­ished

’tis com­plete.

Yes

the sac­ri­fice is of­fered

Life is bought for you and me;

Lord

I come

I wait no long­er

Lo! I give my­self to Thee.

In my heart hope’s star is shin­ing

With a ra­di­ance from ab­ove

And my soul is sweet­ly rest­ing

In the ocean of Thy love.
