Hymn Text
1 Christ the life of all the living, Christ, the death of death our foe.
Christ, yourself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe:
Through your suffering, death, and merit Life eternal I inherit.
Thousand, thousand thanks are due, Dearest Jesus, unto you.
2 You have suffered great affliction And have borne it patiently,
Even death by crucifixion: Fully to atone for me;
For you chose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented.
Thousand, thousand thanks are due, Dearest Jesus, unto you.
3 Then, for all that bought my pardon, For the sorrows deep and sore.
For the anguish in the garden, I will thank you evermore;
Thank you for the groaning, sighing, For the bleeding and the dying,
For that last triumphant cry, Praise you evermore on high.
