Verse 2:


What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners? gain
Mine, mine was the transgression
But Thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall, my Savior
?Tis I deserve Thy place
Look on me with Thy favor
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace

Verse 3:

What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend
For this Thy dying sorrow
Thy pity without end
O make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me never, never 
Outlive my love to Thee
