O Love Divine, What Hast Thou Done

Representative Text

1 O Love divine, what hast thou done!
The immortal God hath died for me!
The Father’s co-eternal Son
bore all my sins upon the tree;
the immortal God for me hath died!
My Lord, my Love is crucified:

2 Is crucified for me and you,
to bring us rebels back to God;
believe, believe the record true,
we all are bought with Jesu’ blood,
pardon for all flows from his side:
my Lord, my Love, is crucified.

3 Then let us sit beneath the cross,
and gladly catch the healing stream,
all things for him account but loss,
and give up all our hearts to him;
of nothing think or speak beside:
my Lord, my Love is crucified.

Charles Wesley, M.A. was the great hymn-writer of the Wesley family, perhaps, taking quantity and quality into consideration, the great hymn-writer of all ages. Charles Wesley was the youngest son and 18th child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, and was born at Epworth Rectory, Dec. 18, 1707.

Notes

O Love divine, what hast Thou done? C. Wesley. [Passiontide.] First published in Hymns & Sacred Poems, 1742, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines, as the last of three hymns on "Desiring to Love" (Poetical Works, 1868-72, vol. ii., p. 74). It came into use in the Church of England through Toplady's Psalms & Hymns, 1776, No. 25, and with the Methodist Societies and other nonconformists through the Wesleyan Hymn Book, 1780, No. 27. The historical account of its beautiful refrain, "My Lord, my Love is crucified," is given under "My Lord, my Love was crucified" (p. 781, ii.).
