The Love that Gave Jesus to Die

Verse 1

Let us sing of the love of the Lord, As now to the cross we draw nigh; Let us sing to the praise of the God of all grace, For the love that gave Jesus to die.

Chorus

O the love that gave Jesus to die, The love that gave Jesus to die; Praise God, it is mine, this love so divine. The love that gave Jesus to die.

Verse 2

O how great was the love that was shown To us!—we can never tell why— Not to angels, but men; let us praise Him again For the love that gave Jesus to die.

Verse 3

Now this love unto all God commends, Not one would His mercy pass by; “Whosoever shall call,” there is pardon for all In the love that gave Jesus to die.

Verse 4

Who is he that can separate those Whom God doth in love justify? Whatsoever we need He includes in the deed, In the love that gave Jesus to die.
