Sheet music
- 1My sins, my sins, my Savior,Their guilt I never knew,Till with Thee in the desert,I near Thy passion drew;Till with Thee in the garden,I heard Thy pleading prayer,And saw Thy blood-sweat fallingThat told Thy sorrow there.
- 2My sins, my sins, my Savior,How sad on Thee they fall!Seen thru’ Thy gentle patience,I ten-fold feel them all;I know they are forgiven,But still their pain to meIs all the grief and anguishThey laid, my Lord, on Thee.
- 3My songs, my songs, my Savior,E’en in the time of woe,Shall tell of all Thy goodnessTo suff’ring man below,Thy goodness and Thy favor,Whose presence from aboveRejoice those hearts, my Savior,That live in Thee and love.
