1. Heart of Jesus rent in twain, (rent in twain,)
By Thy dying passion’s pain, (passion’s pain,)
I to Thee for refuge run, (refuge run,)
Lifeless, loveless and undone, (and undone,)
From myself and from my sin, (from my sin,)
Heart of Jesus, take me in. (take me in.)
2. Arms of Jesus crucified, (crucified,)
To the ages open’d wide, (open’d wide,)
To Thy fold I fainting flee, (fainting flee,)
From the foes that compass me, (compass me,)
From myself and from my sin, (from my sin,)
Arms of Jesus, take me in. (take me in.)
3. Love of Jesus, wider far, (wider far,)
Than the widest heavens are, (heavens are,)
Deeper than my sin can be, (sin can be,)
Who shall separate from Thee, (far from Thee,)
Safe from self and safe from sin, (safe from sin,)
Love of Jesus, take me in. (take me in.)
