Representative Text

1 Think what it cost to redeem fallen man,
Think of it calmly, O soul, if you can;
Infinite love came to earth from above,
That’s what it cost, that’s what it cost.

Refrain:
Think what it cost,
Think what it cost,
God was not willing thy soul should be lost;
The dear Son of God poured out His life-blood,
That’s what it cost,
That’s what it cost.

2 Think what it cost when the King left His throne,
Came to this world uninvited, alone;
Look at Him now with His thorn-pierced brow,
That’s what it cost, that’s what it cost. [Refrain]

3 Think what it cost to the Saviour who came,
Baring His head to our sorrow and shame;
High on the tree hung the dear Lord for me,
That’s what it cost, that’s what it cost. [Refrain]
