This hymn also makes for a powerful declaration of trust at funerals. What is there left to do in such a moment of reflection but to offer our hymn of praise and adoration? The second verse, in its remembrance of the Passion, makes this an especially beautiful selection for the Easter Season. The first verse especially reflects our own brokenness: “for thee all the follies of sin I resign.” We go on to reflect on what Christ has done for us in that, to paraphrase 1 John 4:10, He loved us and died for us as an atonement for our sins.
