Stanza 1: Give me a sight, O Savior, Of Thy wondrous love to me, Of the love that brought Thee down to earth, To die on Calvary. REFRAIN: Oh, make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, To bear away my sin. Stanza 2: Was it the nails, O Savior, That bound Thee to the tree? Nay, 'twas Thine everlasting love, Thy love for me, for me. REFRAIN: Oh, make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, To bear away my sin. Stanza 3: Oh, wonder of all wonders, That through Thy death for me, My open sins, my secret sins, Can all forgiven be. REFRAIN: Oh, make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, To bear away my sin. Stanza 4: Then melt my heart, O Savior, Bend me, yea, break me down, Until I own Thee Conqueror, And Lord and Sov'reign crown. REFRAIN: Oh, make me understand it, Help me to take it in, What it meant to Thee, the Holy One, To bear away my sin.
