62.  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.

Chorus
O! ‘twas love, ‘twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me;
It bro’t my Saviour 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 through his blood.

3
Love brings the glorious fulness in,
And to his saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Thro’ faith in Christ alone.

4
Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be giv’n
A glorious foretaste even now,
The peace and joy of heav’n.

5
Of vict’ry now o’er Satan’s pow’r,
Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph now in ev’ry hour,
Thro’ Christ, the Lord, our King.
