Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Living Hymns #42 (1890) First Line: God loved the world so tenderly Refrain First Line: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son Lyrics: 1 God loved the world so tenderly
His only Son he gave,
That all who on his name believe
Its wondrous pow'r will save.
Chorus:
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
That whosoever believeth in Him
Should not perish, should not perish;
That whosoever believeth in him
Should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2 Oh, love that only God can feel,
And only he can show!
Its height and depth,
Its length and breadth
Nor heav’n nor earth can know! [Chorus]
3 Why perish, then, ye ransom'd ones?
Why slight the gracious call?
Why turn from him words proclaim
Eternal life to all? [Chorus]
4 O Saviour, melt these hearts of ours,
And teach us to believe
That whosoever [whose comes to thee
Shall endless life receive. [Chorus] Scripture: John 3:16 Languages: English Tune Title: [God loved the world so tenderly]
