Such Love

Author: C. Bishop Hymnal: Hymns of the Comforter #52 (1938) First Line: That God should love a sinner such as I Refrain First Line: Such love, such wondrous love Lyrics: 1 That God should love a sinner such as I, Should yearn to change my sorrow into bliss, Nor rest till He had planned to bring me nigh, How wonderful is love like this! Refrain: Such love, such wondrous love, Such love, such wondrous love, That God should love a sinner such as I, How wonderful is love like this! 2 That Christ should join so freely in the scheme, Although it meant His death on Calvary, Did ever human tongue find nobler theme Than love divine that ransomed me? [Refrain] 3 That for a wilful outcast such as I, The Father planned, the Savior bled and died; Redemption for a worthless slave to buy, Who long had law and grace defied. [Refrain] 4 And now He takes me to His heart—a son, He asks me not to fill a servant’s place; The “Far-off country” wand’rings all are done, Wide open are His arms of grace. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [That God should love a sinner such as I]
