[And let these wretched bodies die]
And let these wretched bodies die,
If Thou at last receive
The souls Thou didst so dearly buy,
That we with God might live.
If Thou at last receive
The souls Thou didst so dearly buy,
That we with God might live.
Death as the wages of our sin
Our just desert we claim,
But hope eternal life to win,
Through grace—and Jesu's name.
Our just desert we claim,
But hope eternal life to win,
Through grace—and Jesu's name.
Jesus, Thou all-redeeming Lord,
Remember Calvary,
And think on sinners self-abhorr'd,
Who gasp in death to Thee.
Remember Calvary,
And think on sinners self-abhorr'd,
Who gasp in death to Thee.
And while Thy mercy's utmost power
On us is magnified,
O save us at our latest hour,
Who hast for felons died.
On us is magnified,
O save us at our latest hour,
Who hast for felons died.
