Oh! The Bitter Shame Christian Song Lyrics

Oh! the bitter shame and sorrow,
that a time could ever be,
when I let the Saviourโ€Ÿs pity
plead in vain, and proudly answered,
โ€˜All of self, and none of Thee.โ€™

Yet He found me: I beheld Him
bleeding on the cursed tree,
heard Him pray, โ€˜Forgive them, Father!โ€™
And my wistful heart said faintly:
โ€˜Some of self, and some of Thee.โ€™

Day by day His tender mercy,
healing, helping, full and free,
sweet and strong, and ah! so patient
brought me lower, while I whispered,
โ€˜Less of self, and more of Thee.โ€™

Higher than the highest heavens,
deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered!
Grant me now my soulโ€Ÿs petition:
โ€˜None of self, and all of Thee.โ€™
(Tune 2 repeat last line of each verse.) โ€ฆโ€ฆ
