1 Love divine—a theme for praising!
Love divine—oh, how amazing!
Cross of Jesus there I see,
Cross of Jesus there I see—
Love divine, love divine in victory!

2 Love divine salvation gave us,
Sent us Christ to seek and save us—
Cast away on ruin’s shore,
Cast away on ruin’s shore,
Saving now, saving now and evermore.

3 Love divine, it draws me to Him;
Here I kneel and humble sure Him,
Sure Him for a pardon free,
Sure Him for a pardon free,
Gentle Christ, gentle Christ, I come to Thee!

4 I have found what I was craving,
And go forth the lost one saving—
Pointing to the Crucified,
Pointing to the Crucified—
To the Cross, to the Cross where Jesus died.
