O teach me what it meaneth (Hymn 1076)

Verse 1: O teach me what it meaneth: That Cross uplifted high, With One, the Man of Sorrows, Condemned to bleed and die. O teach me what it cost Thee To make a sinner whole; And teach me, Savior, teach me The value of a soul. Verse 2: O teach me what it meaneth: That sacred crimson tide, The blood and water flowing From Thine own wounded side. Teach me that if none other *Had sinned, but I alone, Yet still, Thy blood, O Jesus, Thine only, must atone. Verse 3: O teach me what it meaneth, Thy love beyond compare, The love that reacheth deeper Than depths of self-despair! Yea, teach me, till there gloweth In this cold heart of mine Some feeble, pale reflection Of that pure love of Thine. Verse 4: O teach me what it meaneth, For I am full of sin; And grace alone can reach me, And love alone can win. O teach me, for I need Thee, I have no hope beside, The chief of all the sinners For whom the Savior died. Verse 5: O teach me what it meaneth: The rest which Thou dost give To all the heavy-laden Who look to Thee and live. Because I am a rebel Thy pardon I receive: Because Thou dost command me, I can, I do believe. Verse 6: O infinite Redeemer, I bring no other plea; Because Thou dost invite me I cast myself on Thee. Because Thou dost accept me I love and I adore; Because Thy love constraineth, I'll praise Thee evermore.
