How Loving Is Jesus!

lyricist: Randall Ballantyne, 1859

How lov­ing is Je­sus!

Who came from the sky

In ten­der­est pity for sin­ners to die;

His hands and His feet

They were nailed to the tree

And all this He suf­fered

For you and for me.

How glad­ly does Je­sus

Free par­don im­part

To all who re­ceive Him

By faith in their heart;

No ev­il befalls them

Their home is above

And Je­sus throws round them

The arms of His love.

How pre­cious is Je­sus

To all who be­lieve

And out of His full­ness

What grace they re­ceive!

When weak

He sup­ports them;

When err­ing

He guides;

And ev­ery thing need­ful

He kind­ly pro­vides.

Oh

give then to Je­sus

Your ear­li­est days

They only are bless­èd

Who walk in His ways;

In life and in death He

Will still be your friend

For whom Je­sus loves

He loves to the end.
