O Love Divine! O Matchless Grace!

Verse 1

O love divine! O matchless grace! Which in this sacred rite Shines forth so full, so free, in rays Of purest living light.

Verse 2

O wondrous death! O precious blood! For us so freely spilt, To cleanse our sin-polluted souls From every stain of guilt.

Verse 3

O covenant of life and peace, By blood and suffering sealed! All the rich gifts of gospel grace Are here to faith revealed.

Verse 4

Jesus, we bow our souls to Thee, Our life, our hope, our all, While we, with thankful, contrite hearts, Thy dying love recall.

Verse 5

O may Thy pure and perfect love Be written on our minds; Nor earth, nor self, nor sin obscure The ever-radiant lines. Amen.
