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.
Refrain
