This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

Himself He could not save,

He on the cross must die,

Or mercy could not come

To ruined sinners nigh;

Yes Christ, the Son of God, must bleed,

That sinners might from sin be freed.

 
 2 

Himself He could not save,

For justice must be done;

Our sins' full weight must fall

Upon the sinless One;

For nothing less can God accept

In payment of that fearful debt.

 
 3 

Himself He could not save,

For He the Surety stood

For all who now rely

Upon His precious blood;

He bore the penalty of guilt

When on the cross His blood was spilt.

 
 4 

Himself He could not save,

What wondrous love is this!

In love Himself He gave,

There ne'er was love like His!

Such love should melt a heart of stone,

Till praise flows forth to Him alone!
