10502. The Love That Gave Jesus To Die

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.

Refrain:
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.

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]

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. [Refrain]
