Love My Ransom Paid

Verse 1

O love, amazing love, That wounded thou should’st be For my transgressions, Lord, And sacrificed for me.

Chorus

Love my ransom paid, Love my sorrow bore, Love has opened the gate of life; That Love will I adore.

Verse 2

Thou, like a gentle lamb, Wast to the slaughter led, My guilty sins were laid Upon thy guiltless head.

Verse 3

The law my soul condemns, I have no refuge there; The law for vengeance calls, But Mercy cries forbear.

Verse 4

Yes, ‘till my latest hour, And with my latest breath, Thy wondrous love I’ll sing, E’en thro’ the gates of death.
