I love the Lord who died for me;
I love his grace divine and free;
I love his word, for there I read
That he loved me, and for me bled.
I love to hear that he was slain;
I love his every grief and pain;
I love to think on him by faith,
And muse upon his cruel death.
I love his people and their ways;
I love with them to pray and praise:
I love the Father and the Son;
I love the Spirit he sent down.
I love to think the time will come
When I shall be with him at home,—
When I shall love as he loves me,
And praise him through eternity.
