English jesus song lyrics

Years I spent in vanity and pride,

by

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.

Refrain

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.

Refrain

Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary!

Refrain

Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!

Refrain

Lord Jesus, I love Thee,

by

Lord Jesus, I love Thee,
I know Thou art mine,
My rock and my fortress,
My Surety divine;
My gracious Redeemer,
my song shall be now,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

I love Thee because Thou
hast first lovèd me,
And purchased my pardon
on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing
the thorns on Thy brow;
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

I would love Thee in life,
I would love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long
as Thou lendeth me breath,
And sing, should the death-dew
lie cold on my brow,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

And when the bright morn
of Thy glory shall come,
And the children ascend
to the Father’s glad home,
I’ll shout, with Thy likeness
impressed on my brow,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou.
