Author: Mrs. M. M. Stockton, 1821-1885 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #303 (1917) First Line: God loved the world of sinners lost Lyrics: 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 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. [Refrain]
3 Love brings the glorious fulness in,
And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]
4 Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]
5 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. [Refrain]
Amen.
