God Loved the World

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 Sav­ior 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.

Love brings the glo­ri­ous full­ness in

And to His saints makes known

The bless­èd rest from in­bred sin

Through faith in Christ alone.

Believing souls

re­joic­ing go;

There shall to you be giv’n

A glo­ri­ous fore­taste

here be­low

Of end­less life in Heav’n.

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.
