330. Chief of sinners though I be

1 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.

2 O the height of Jesus' love!
Higher than the heavens above,
Deeper than the depths of sea,
Lasting as eternity.

3 Only Jesus can impart
Balm to heal the smitten heart,
Peace that flows from sin forgiven,
Joy that lifts the soul to heaven.

4 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.

Amen.
