An Easter Hymn

Let thy blood in mercy poured, let thy gracious Body broken
Be to me, O gracious Lord, of thy boundless love the token.
Thou didst give thyself for me, now I give myself to thee.

Thou didst die that I might live, Blessed Lord, thou cam’st to save me;
All that love of God could give Jesus by His sorrows gave me.
Thou didst give thyself for me, now I give myself to thee.

By the thorns that crowned thy brow, by thy spear-wound and the nailing,
By thy pain and death, I now claim, O Christ, thy love unfailing.
Thou didst give thyself for me, now I give myself to thee.

Hymn 313 (Episcopal Hymnal 1982)  By John Brownlie 1959-1985
