O teach me Lord its meaning

Lyrics: Lucy Bennett (Alt & Mod. R.Mc.)
Music: Chrétien d’Urhan (Rutherford) 



O teach me Lord its meaning,
That cross uplifted high,
With One, the Man of Sorrows,
Condemned to bleed and die!
O teach me what it cost You
To make a sinner whole;
And teach me, Saviour, teach me
The value of a soul!

O teach me Lord its meaning,
That sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing
From Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other
Had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus,
Thine only, must atone.

O teach me, Lord, its meaning,
Your love beyond compare,
The love that reaches deeper
Than depths of self-despair!
Yes, teach me, till there's glowing
In this cold heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection
Of purest love divine.

O teach me, Lord, its meaning,
For I am full of sin,
Your grace alone can reach me,
Your love alone can win.
I need You, Lord, so teach me,
I have no hope beside—
I'm chief of all the sinners
For whom You, Saviour, died!

O teach me Lord its meaning,
The rest which You still give
To all the heavy-laden
Who look to You and live.
Because I am a rebel
You pardon I receive
Because You now command me,
I can, I do believe.

O infinite Redeemer!
I know it to be true;
Because You now invite me
I cast myself on You.
Because You can accept me
I love and I adore;
Because You grace compels me,
I’ll praise You evermore!

Lyrics: Lucy Bennett 
Music: Chrétien d’Urhan (Rutherford) 

O teach me what it meaneth,
That cross uplifted high,
With One, the Man of Sorrows,
Condemned to bleed and die!
O teach me what it cost Thee
To make a sinner whole;
And teach me, Savior, teach me
The value of a soul!

O teach me what it meaneth,
That sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing
From Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other
Had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus,
Thine only, must atone.

O teach me what it meaneth,
Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper
Than depths of self-despair!
Yes, teach me, till there gloweth
In this cold heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection
Of that pure love of Thine.

O teach me what it meaneth,
For I am full of sin,
And grace alone can reach me,
And love alone can win.
O teach me, for I need Thee,
I have no hope beside—
The chief of all the sinners
For whom the Savior died!

O teach me what it meaneth
The rest which Thou dost give
To all the heavy-laden
Who look to Thee and live.
Because I am a rebel
Thy pardon I receive
Because Thou dost command me,
I can, I do believe.

O infinite Redeemer!
I bring no other plea;
Because Thou dost invite me
I cast myself on Thee.
Because Thou dost accept me
I love and I adore;
Because Thy love constraineth,
I’ll praise Thee evermore!
