“O Lord, Who Gave Thy Life for Me,” Ensign, Oct. 2002, 7 O Lord, Who Gave Thy Life for Me Text and music by Alice W. Johnson Reverently 1. O Lord, who gave Thy life for me, I come now in humility And here my sacrifice impart: A contrite soul, a broken heart. Oh, may Thy love in mercy shine And bind my sorr’wing heart to Thine. 2. Upon the altar here I lay My pride, my hurt, each willful way, My burden all of sin and care, And in its place Thy yoke I’ll bear. Oh, may Thy love my soul refine And bind my trusting heart to Thine. 3. My heart is full of love for Thee Because I know Thou first loved me. Now by that love I’ll seek to live And freely, like Thyself, forgive. Oh, may Thy love my life define And bind my willing heart to Thine. 4. And as I strive to thus endure With cleaner hands and heart more pure, In all around I see Thy face And feel the bounties of Thy grace. O Savior, may Thy love divine Now bind my grateful heart to Thine. © 2002 by Alice W. Johnson. All rights reservedThis hymn may be copied for incidental, noncommercial home and church use.
