Behold, what love, behold, what love
The Father hath bestowed,

Through Jesus’ precious blood.

That we, who were conceived in sin,
Should rank with heaven’s family—
Of God be born again! [Refrain]
3 When sons, we are the heirs of God,
And rich joint-heirs with Christ the Son;
When sanctified through Jesus’ blood,
Our heritage we own. [Refrain]

All do our Father’s image bear;
None but the pure in heart shall see
His face, and heaven share. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 John 3:1 Tune Title: [Behold what love, what boundless love]
