Verse 1
Jesus, was ever love like thine!
Jesus, remember Calvary!
Who didst thy precious life resign,
Who didst, expiring on the tree,
Pity the men that nail’d thee there,
And save them by thy dying prayer.

Verse 2
A Ruffian drench’d in guiltless blood
Thy utmost strength of grace requires:
From all the righteous wrath of God
From inextinguishable fires
Redeem him at this dreadful hour,
Thou Infinite in saving power!

Verse 3
The one unpardonable sin
Great God, if he hath never done,
We ask that blood to wash him clean,
Which did for murtherers atone;
Wash’d in that blood his soul require,
And save him—save him—as by fire!
