The world’s Re¤deem¤er came to me,
He asked me ¤if I would par¤take
His life di¤vine, the gift of God,
And serve Him ¤for His own name’s sake.

Chorus:
His name as oint¤ment is to me,
So fra¤grant, rare, from heav’n a¤bove,
His soul poured out for all man¤kind
The vir¤gin ¤heart must sure¤ly love.

I thought up¤on my sin¤ful ways,
And where my ¤way¤ward feet would end.
How could I face the day of death,
The judg¤ment ¤day, with¤out this friend?

He came a¤gain, I heard His voice,
I then re¤¤ceived Him as my own,
No con¤dem¤na¤tion now I fear,
His blood shall ¤for my sins a¤tone.

In Je¤sus I have rest of soul,
The peace which ¤He a¤lone can give.
He is my ref¤uge, shield and tower,
My dwell¤ing ¤place– in Him I live.

My name and na¤ture He has changed,
That I might ¤bear His wor¤thy name,
Be found of God in Him com¤plete,
To stand be¤¤fore Him with¤out blame.

No sep¤a¤ra¤tion now I fear;
His hands, His ¤feet, His wound¤ed side
Pro¤claim His nev¤er fail¤ing love;
For me He ¤lived, for me He died.
