First Line: I am not skilled to understand,

I am not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what God hath planned;
I only know at His right hand
Is One who is my Saviour !

2 I take Him at His word indeed :
Christ died for sinners — this I read ;
For in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Saviour !

3 That He should leave His place on high,
And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange ? — so once did I,
Before I knew my Saviour !

4 And oh, that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me,
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour !

5 Yea, living, dying, let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring —
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour !
