254. 'Twas Love That Found Out Me

1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
Oh, how He loves!
What joy the blest assurance gives!
Oh, how He loves!

Refrain:
’Twas love, ’twas love, oh, it was love
That moved the mighty God!
Oh, ’twas love, ’twas love, ’twas love that found out me!

2 He lives, He lives, who once was dead,
Oh, how He loves!
He lives, my everlasting Head,
Oh, how He loves! [Refrain]

3 He lives, my mansion to prepare,
Oh, how He loves!
He lives to bring me safely there,
Oh, how He loves! [Refrain]

4 He lives, my hungry soul to feed,
Oh, how He loves!
He lives to help in time of need,
Oh, how He loves! [Refrain]

5 He lives, all glory to His name,
Oh, how He loves!
He lives my Savior still the same,
Oh, how He loves! [Refrain]
