God loved the world beyond degree

Verse 1

God lov'd the world beyond degree, Sure no such other love can be; He sent his son, who died and sav'd, The whole of man to sin enslav'd.

Verse 2

But to complete that glorious plan, The Son of God became like man; When he assum'd our flesh and blood, He died like man, but not as God.

Verse 3

He bore the curse to make us bless'd! On him doth our Salvation rest; When all our sins on him were laid, His death for all attonement made.

Verse 4

His death has purchas'd life and grace For all the lost of Adam's race; No other sacrifice could pay, For sin, and take our guilt away.

Verse 5

They, who on him the Saviour b'lieve, They shall not perish, but shall live; The Saviour came not to condemn The sons of men, but ransom'd them.

Verse 6

Come helpless sinners, take a view Come see what Christ has done for you; Believe in him, and trust his pow'r, And he will save you ever more
