Infinite Love
Clara McAlister Brooks • English
Primary Scripture: John 3:16
Verse 1
Our Father hath so loved us, He gave His only Son To die for guilty sinners, To ransom everyone; Such love is more than human, Compassionate, divine; Because He died, I’m living, And heaven’s joy is mine.
Chorus
Oh, love, oh, love That came from heav’n above! His Son He gave my soul to save, I know that God is love.
Verse 2
He loved the lost one straying Upon the mountains cold; Love sought me from the darkness, And brought me to His fold; While feasting in His presence His graces rich I prove; He keeps His banner o’er me— ’Tis love, unfailing love.
Chorus
Oh, love, oh, love That came from heav’n above! His Son He gave my soul to save, I know that God is love.
Verse 3
A mother’s love is tender, It floweth warm and free: Though she forget her offspring, Yet I’ll remember thee; His love, a brilliant beacon The ages cannot dim: Behold, with loving kindness He draweth us to Him!
Chorus
Oh, love, oh, love That came from heav’n above! His Son He gave my soul to save, I know that God is love.
Verse 4
Oh, precious love of Jesus! It melts the heart of stone, And molds it in His image, And binds it to His own; His love in us perfected, Will doubt and fear remove; Put on, O holy brethren, This bond of perfect love.
Chorus
Oh, love, oh, love That came from heav’n above! His Son He gave my soul to save, I know that God is love.
