3987 6. 7 6. D
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, Saviour, teach me
    The value of a soul!
 
2  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 Saviour died!
 
3  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!
 
Lucy Ann Bennett, 1850-1927
