The Love That Gave Jesus to Die

Let us sing of the love of the Lord

As now to the cross we draw nigh;

Let us sing to the praise

Of the God of all grace

For the love that gave Je­sus to die.

O the love that gave Je­sus to die

The love that gave Je­sus to die;

Praise God

it is mine

This love so di­vine

The love that gave Je­sus to die.

O how great was the love that was shown

To us—we can nev­er tell why—

Not to an­gels

but men;

Let us praise Him again

For the love that gave Je­sus to die.

Now this love un­to all God com­mends

Not one would His mer­cy pass by;

Whosoever shall call

There is par­don for all

In the love that gave Je­sus to die.

Who is He that can se­pa­rate those

Whom God doth in love jus­ti­fy;

Whatsoever we need

He in­cludes in the deed

In the love that gave Je­sus to die.
