God loved the world so ten­der­ly
His on­ly Son He gave,
That all who on His name be­lieve
Its won­drous pow­er will save.

Refrain

For God so loved the world
That He gave His on­ly Son,
That who­so­ev­er be­liev­eth in Him
Should not per­ish, should not per­ish;
That who­so­ev­er be­liev­eth in Him
Should not per­ish, but have ev­er­last­ing life.

Oh, love that on­ly God can feel,
And on­ly He can show!
Its height and depth,
Its length and breadth
Nor Heav’n nor earth can know!

Refrain

Why per­ish, then, ye ran­somed ones?
Why slight the gra­cious call?
Why turn from Him whose words pro­claim
Eternal life to all?

Refrain

O Sav­ior, melt these hearts of ours,
And teach us to be­lieve
That who­so­ev­er comes to Thee
Shall end­less life re­ceive.
