Lyrics

O Love divine, amazing Love!
That brought to earth, from Heav’n above,
The Son of God, for us to die,
That we might dwell with Him on high.

Refrain

He died for you, He died for me,
And shed His blood to make us free;
Upon the cross of Cal­va­ry,
The Sav­ior died for you and me.

For us the crown of thorns He bore
For us the robe of scorn He wore;
He con­quered death, and rent the grave,
And lives again our souls to save.

Refrain

O, wan­d’rer, come, on Him be­lieve;
His of­fered grace by faith re­ceive;
Awake, arise, and hear Him call;
The feast is spread, there’s room for all.
