Author: William McComb Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E75 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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 Oh, the height of Jesus' love!
Higher than the heavens above,
Deeper than the depths of sea
Lasting as eternity.
3 Jesus only 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.
