Chief of sinners though I be Jesus shed his blood for me Died that I might live on high Lives that I might never die As the branch is to the vine I am his and he is mine Oh, the height of Jesus' love Higher than the heav'ns above Deeper than the depths of sea Lasting as eternity Love that found me, wondrous thought Found me when I sought him not Only Jesus can impart Comfort to a wounded heart Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod Chief of sinners though I be Christ is all in all to me All my wants to him are known All my sorrows are his own Safe with him in earthly strife I await the heav'nly life Strengthen me, O gracious Lord By your Spirit and your Word When my wayward heart would stray Keep me in the narrow way Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die
