Representative lyrics
Swedish (Original Language)
1. Jesus för världen givit sitt liv: öppnade ögon, Herre, mig giv. Mig att förlossa offrar han sig, då han på korset dör ock för mig.
2. O vilken kärlek, underbar, sann! Aldrig har någon älskat som han. Frälst genom honom, lycklig och fri, vill jag hans egen evigt nu bli.
3. Tag mig då, Herre, upp till ditt barn, lös mig från alla frestarens garn. Lär mig att leva, leva för dig, glad i din kärlek, offrande mig.
