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, Savior, teach me
The value of a soul.

O teach me what it meaneth:
That sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing
From Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other
*Had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still, Thy blood, O Jesus,
Thine only, must atone.

O teach me what it meaneth,
Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper
Than depths of self-despair!
Yea, teach me, till there gloweth
In this cold heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection
Of that pure love of Thine.
Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper
Than depths of self-despair!

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 Savior died.
For I am full of sin;
And grace alone can reach me,
And love alone can win.

O teach me what it meaneth:
The rest which Thou dost give
To all the heavy-laden
Who look to Thee and live.
Because I am a rebel
Thy pardon I receive:
Because Thou dost command me,
I can, I do believe.

Who look to Thee and live.

O infinite Redeemer,
I bring no other plea;
Because Thou dost invite me
I cast myself on Thee.

I love and I adore;
Because Thy love constraineth,
I’ll praise Thee evermore.

I appreciate the alternative lines, since atonement is incorrect dealing with OT blood sacrifices, but Christ's blood was an expiation. Our sins aren't covered, they are completely gone.

A very good hymn that encourage us to go to God to be thought.

I believe one desire of the Son of Man, Who came to seek & save those who are lost is to "teach us the value of a soul".
Oh bless the Lord, oh my soul..worship His Holy name.
Teach these rich, truth filled songs to our younger generation, may they kindle the flame within our hearts to worship & follow the Lamb, wherever He leadeth.
Thank you so much for publishing these lyrics. The words will be my prayer. 2 Peter 3:18 - Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
