Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Refrain: Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldest die for me? 2 'Tis myst'ery all! th'Immortal dies; who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, let angel minds enquire no more. [Refrain] 3 He left his Father's throne above so free, so infinite his grace; emptied himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race; 'tis mercy all, immense and free; for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain] 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night; thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; my chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth, and followed thee. [Refrain] 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine, bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Author: Lelia N. Morris Appears in 118 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:8 First Line: Of Jesus' love that sought me Lyrics: 1 Of Jesus’ love that sought me When I was lost in sin-- Of wondrous grace that brought me Back to His fold again-- Of heights and depths of mercy Far deeper than the sea, And higher than the heavens, My theme shall ever be. Chorus: Sweeter as the years go by, Sweeter as the years go by; Richer, fuller, deeper, Jesus’ love is sweeter, Sweeter as the years go by. 2 He trod in old Judea Life’s pathway long ago-- The people thronged about Him His saving grace to know; He healed the brokenhearted And caused the blind to see; And still His great heart yearneth In love for even me. (Chorus) 3 ’Twas wondrous love which led Him For us to suffer loss-- To bear without a murmur The anguish of the cross; With saints redeemed in glory, Let us our voices raise, Till heav’n and earth re-echo With our Redeemer’s praise.
