The Christian Sunday School Hymnal ‎#81

81. Wondrous Love

1 God loved the world of sinners lost
And ruined by the fall;
Salvation full at highest cost,
He offers free to all.

Refrain:
O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Savior from above,
To die on Calvary.

2 E'en now by faith I claim him mine,
The risen Son of God;
Redemption by his death I find,
And cleansing thro' the blood. [Refrain]

3 Love brings the glorious fullness in,
And to his saints makes known
The blessed rest from every sin,
Thro' faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]

4 Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be known
A glorious foretaste here below
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]

5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power
Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour
Thro' Christ the Lord our King. [Refrain]
