Father, Forgive, the Savior Said (EN 4019)

EN 4019 Father, Forgive, the Savior Said

Luke.23.34

Versi Version 1

1

“Father, forgive,” the Savior said

“They know not what they do”;

His heart was moved when thus He prayed

For me, my friends, and you.

2

Through love of sin, we long were prone

To act as Satan bid;

But now, with grief and shame we own,

We knew not what we did.

3

We knew not the desert of sin,

Nor Whom we thus defied;

Nor where our guilty souls had been,

If Jesus had not died.

4

We knew not what a law we broke,

How holy, just and pure!

Nor what a God we durst provoke,

But thought ourselves secure.

5

But Jesus all our guilt foresaw,

And shed His precious blood

To satisfy the holy law,

And make our peace with God.

6

My sin, dear Savior, made Thee bleed,

Yet didst Thou pray for me!

I knew not what I did, indeed,

When ignorant of Thee.
