114. God Loved the World

1 God loved the world of sinners lost
And ruined by the fall,
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.

Refrain:
Oh, ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me:
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.

2 Eternal praises, Lord, to Thee,
Thou blessed Son of God;
For Thy deep love in cleansing me,
In Thy most precious blood. [Refrain]

3 E’en now by faith I know I'm Thine,
'Tis in Thy faithful Word;
Oh, height, oh, depth, of love divine!
In Thee, the risen Lord. [Refrain]

4 Oh, help me, Lord, to spread Thy fame!
And tell of all Thy grace,
To all the world Thy love proclaim;
Until I see Thy face. [Refrain]
