8.8.8.7.

I AM not skilled to understand

What God hath willed, what God hath planned;

I only know at His right hand

Stands One who is my Saviour.

2

I take Him at His Word indeed:

“Christ died for sinners,” this I read;

And in my heart I find a need

Of Him to be my Saviour.

3

And was there then no other way

For God to take? I cannot say;

I only bless Him, day by day,

Who saved me through my Saviour.

4

That He should leave His place on high,

And come for sinful man to die,

You count it strange? So once did I,

Before I knew my Saviour.

5

And oh, that He fulfilled may see

The travail of His soul in me,

And with His work contented be,

As I with my dear Saviour.

6

Yes, living, dying, let me bring

My strength, my solace from this spring,

That He who lives to be my King

Once died to be my Saviour.
