Author: Rev. E. A. Hoffman Hymnal: Junior Songs #113 (1892) First Line: Why came the Saviour from above Refrain First Line: He loves me, he loves me Lyrics: 1 Why came the Saviour from above,
To dwell on earth below?
Why suffered he on Calvary?
Because he loves me so.
Chorus:
He loves me, he loves me,
He loves me, this I know.
He gave himself to die for me,
Because he loves me so.
2 Why bowed he in Gethsemane
Beneath a weight of woe,
Till bloody sweat bedew'd the ground?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus]
3 Why does he wash my sin-stained heart
And make it white as snow?
Why does he make his home therein?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus]
4 Why will he take me up to heav'n
From cares and toils below?
Why give a crown of glory there?
Because he loves me so. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Why came the Saviour from above]
Because He Loves Me So
