God loved the world of sinners lost,
And ruined by the fall;
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.
O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary!
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.
O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary!
Love brings the glorious fullness in,
And to His saints makes known
The blessčd rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone.
O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary!
Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be giv’n
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in Heav’n.
O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary!
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.
O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary!
