My Saviour, Thou Thy love to me
Expressing gratitude to the Savior for the love bestowed.
In want, in pain, in shame, hast showed
Acknowledging that the Savior has revealed love in times of need, pain, and shame.
For me on the accursed tree

Thou didst pour forth Thy guiltless blood
Recognizing the shedding of the Savior's innocent blood for the speaker's salvation.
Ah! soften, melt this heart, and may
Requesting the Savior to soften the speaker's heart and cleanse it through His blood.
Thy blood wash all these stains away
Seeking purification and forgiveness through the Savior's blood.
From all eternity with love
Acknowledging the Savior's unchangeable love throughout eternity.
Unchangeable Thou hast me viewed
Grateful for the constant, unchanging love of the Savior.
Ere knew this beating heart to move
Reflecting on the Savior's love even before the speaker's heart began to beat.
Thy tender mercies me pursued
Acknowledging the pursuit of the speaker by the Savior's tender mercies.
Ever with me may they abide
Desiring the perpetual presence of the Savior's mercies.
And close me in on every side
Requesting divine protection from all sides.
Still let Thy love point out my way
Seeking the Savior's love to guide the way of the speaker.
(How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought)
Marveling at the wondrous deeds accomplished by the Savior's love.
Still lead me, lest I go astray
Requesting continuous guidance to prevent straying from the right path.
Direct my work, inspire my thought
Asking for divine inspiration in the speaker's work and thoughts.
And if I fall, soon may I hear
Expressing hope for a prompt response from the Savior in times of failure.
Thy voice, and know that love is near
Longing to hear the Savior's voice as assurance of His nearness after a fall.
In suff'ring be Thy love my peace
Desiring the Savior's love to be a source of peace in times of suffering.
In weakness my almighty power
Seeking the Savior's almighty power in times of weakness.
And when the storms of life shall cease
Anticipating the Savior's guidance beyond the storms of life.
Jesus, in that important hour
Calling on Jesus to be the guide in the crucial hour of life's end.
In death as life be Thou my guide
Asking for the Savior's guidance in both life and death.
And save me, who for me hast died
Seeking salvation from the Savior who sacrificed Himself for the speaker.
