LORD, WE TREASURE WITH AFFECTION
1. Lord, we
treasure with affection
All Thy path of
sorrow here,
And those closing
scenes of anguish
To our hearts
Thyself endear.
Refrain
Praise Thee,
Savior! Praise Thee, Savior!
Praise Thee, Lord,
for sinners slain!
Give Thee glory!
Give Thee glory!
Give Thee glory for
the life we gain!
2. Deep Thy sorrow
then, Lord Jesus,
Deeper far than
thought can reach;
Grief intense and suff'rings
holy,
Far beyond all
tongues to teach.
3. None could
follow there, blest Savior,
When redemption's
work was done;
For those suff'rings,
deep, unfathomed,
Were, Lord Jesus,
Thine alone!
4. Thou didst
measure then sin's distance,
Darkness, wrath and
curse were Thine;
Man-betrayed, by
God forsaken;
Thus we learn Thy
love divine!
