Because of His Love

Because of His love the Sav­ior died

For sin of the world as cru­ci­fied;

With His on blood our ran­som paid

And for our souls de­liv’rance made.

Because of His love

His sac­ri­fice!

Because of His love! O what a price!

He suf­fered and died

as cru­ci­fied

Because of His love

be­cause of His love.

Because of His love

O bless­èd thought

Were won­der­ful deeds of mer­cy wrought;

The wind and wave ob­eyed His will—

Hushed by His won­drous Peace—be still.

Because of His love

His blest com­mand

We’ll send the glad word to ev­ery land;

His name

abo­ve all names we’ll sing

And crown Him Sav­ior

Priest and King.
