Oh, The Bitter Shame And Sorrow
Text size
Verse 1
Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Saviour's pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered, "All of self, and none of Thee!"
Verse 2
Yet He found me; I beheld Him Bleeding on the accursed tree, Heard Him pray, "Forgive them, Father!" And my wistful heart said faintly- "Some of self, and some of Thee."
Verse 3
Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping, full, and free, Sweet and strong, and, ah! so patient, Brought me lower, while I whispered, "Less of self, and more of Thee.
Verse 4
Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest sea, Lord, Thy love at last has conquered; Grant me now my supplication - "None of self, and all of Thee."
