“I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10. 15

1 O my soul, admire and wonder;
  Jesus lived and died for thee;
  He has broke the bands asunder,
  And from bondage set thee free.
  Sweet deliverance
  Jesus Christ has wrought for me.

2 [I a slave to sin and Satan
  Once did live, and liked it well;
  But the God of my salvation
  Died to save my soul from hell.
  Precious Saviour
  Let me ever with thee dwell.]

3 All the debts I had contracted,
  He, in mercy, called his own;
  And lest I should be neglected,
  Drew me near his gracious throne;
  Paid all charges,
  Then, and for the time to come.

4 Soon I hope to see his glory,
  And, with all the saints above,
  Sing and tell the pleasing story,
  In the highest strains of love;
  And for ever
  Live and reign with him above.
