Chorus

O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love, The love of God to me; It brought my Saviour from above, To die on Calvary.

Verse 1

God loved the world of sinners lost And ruined by the fall; Salvation full, at highest cost, He offers free to all.

Verse 2

E’en now by faith I claim Him mine, The risen Son of God; Redemption by His death I find, And cleansing through the blood.

Verse 3

Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to His saints makes known The blessèd rest from inbred sin, Through faith in Christ alone.

Verse 4

Believing souls, rejoicing go; There shall to you be given A glorious foretaste, here below, Of endless life in heaven.

Verse 5

Of victory now o’er Satan’s power Let all the ransomed sing, And triumph in the dying hour Through Christ, the Lord, our king.
