Today along with my normal Sunday Meditations post, I am hosting a “blog hop” specifically for scripture verses, hymns and spiritual song lyrics or poems that have encouraged you in your walk with Christ. I would love for you to join in and be encouraged through this “hop.”
O Teach Me What It Meaneth
O teach me what it meaneth,
That cross uplifted high,
With One, the Man of Sorrows,
Condemned to bleed and die!
O teach me what it cost Thee
To make a sinner whole;
And teach me, Saviour, teach me
The value of a soul!
O teach me what it meaneth,
That sacred crimson tide,
The blood and water flowing
From Thine own wounded side.
Teach me that if none other
Had sinned, but I alone,
Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus,
Thine only, must atone.
O teach me what it meaneth,
Thy love beyond compare,
The love that reacheth deeper
Than depths of self-despair!
Yes, teach me, till there gloweth
In this poor heart of mine
Some feeble, pale reflection
Of that pure love of Thine.
O teach me what it meaneth,
For I am full of sin,
And grace alone can reach me,
And love alone can win.
O teach me, for I need Thee,
I have no help beside—
The chief of all the sinners
For whom the Saviour died?
O Infinite Redeemer!
I bring no other plea;
Because Thou dost invite me
I cast myself on Thee.
Because Thou dost accept me
I love and I adore;
Because Thy love constraineth,
I’ll praise Thee ever more!
by Lucy A. Bennett
This song pretty much always bring tears to my eyes and rejoicing to my heart as I think about the glorious salvation that God has given to me in Christ.

Hi Myra. That was a wonderful song to meditate on. I'm sorry I didn't join in, I try to just hop around on Sundays (and usually Saturday's too) – it's like my time 'off'. hee
I will enjoy coming over to read your Sunday Meditations though.
I like the pretty picture at the top of the post – did you take that? So pretty!
Have a lovely evening.

Are you going to do this again next Sunday? I didn't read this to today. (Usually so busy on Sundays that I don't get to blogs…)
