Author: Fanny J. Crosby Hymnal: Glorious Praise #45 (1904) First Line: O love, amazing love Lyrics: 1 O love, amazing love,
That wounded thou should’st be
For my transgressions, Lord,
And sacrificed for me.
Refrain:
Love my ransom paid,
Love my sorrow bore,
Love has opened the gate of life;
That Love will I adore.
2 Thou, like a gentle lamb,
Wast to the slaughter led,
My guilty sins were laid
Upon thy guiltless head. [Refrain]
3 The law my soul condemns,
I have no refuge there;
The law for vengeance calls,
But Mercy cries forbear. [Refrain]
4 Yes, ‘till my latest hour,
And with my latest breath,
Thy wondrous love I’ll sing,
E’en thro’ the gates of death. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O love, amazing love]
Love My Ransom Paid
