Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFHEIEI JKJKLBLB| Saviour if thy precious love | A |
| Could be merited by mine | B |
| Faith these mountains would remove | C |
| Faith would make me ever thine | B |
| But when all my care and pains | D |
| Worth can ne'er create in me | E |
| Nought by me thy fulness gains | D |
| Vain the hope to purchase thee | E |
| - | |
| Cease O man thy worth to weigh | F |
| Give the needless contest o'er | G |
| Mine thou art while thus I say | F |
| Yield thee up and ask no more | H |
| What thy estimate may be | E |
| Only can by him be told | I |
| Who to ransom wretched thee | E |
| Thee to gain himself was sold | I |
| - | |
| But when all in me is sin | J |
| How can I thy grace obtain | K |
| How presume thyself to win | J |
| God of love the doubt explain | K |
| Or if thou the means supply | L |
| Lo to thee I all resign | B |
| Make me Lord I ask not why | L |
| How I ask not ever thine | B |
John Wesley
