Bod¤y, spir¤it, soul, Lord Je¤sus,
Un¤re¤serv¤ed¤ly
I com¤mit with¤out gain¤say¤ing,
Whol¤ly un¤to Thee,
I am Thine since Thou hast bought me,
With Thy sa¤cred blood,
O how great the ran¤som giv¤en,
Sin¤less Son of God.

I can nev¤er com¤pre¤hend it,
That my Lord should die,
O, the bound¤less love which brought Him,
From His home on high
His great heart was moved with pit¤y,
For the sons of men
Dead to God that He might raise them,
Up to life a¤gain.

In un¤ut¤ter¤a¤ble an¤guish,
Did that no man could,
To ap¤pease God’s wrath for¤ev¤er,
In¤ter¤posed His blood,
None may know how great the sor¤row,
When the Sav¤iour died:
All God’s high¤est sense of jus¤tice,
Ful¤ly sat¤is¤fied.

In un¤dy¤ing deep com¤pas¤sion,
Spot¤less with¤out blame,
Tast¤ing death, hell’s ut¤most fu¤ry,
On the cross of shame,
See God’s Ho¤ly One for¤sak¤en,
Si¤lent Heaven a¤bove,
Con¤quering hell’s e¤ter¤nal dark¤ness,
With Al¤might¤y love.

“It is fin¤ished,” hear the vic¤tor,
Loud¤ly now pro¤claim,
Love has tri¤umphed, life is giv¤en,
In the Sav¤iour’s name,
Lord Thy ten¤der love has bro¤ken
Down my stub¤born heart,
Love’s un¤fail¤ing bond now binds us,
Nev¤er more to part.
