Down from His splen­dor in glo­ry He came,
Into a world of woe;
Took on Him­self all my guilt and my shame,
Why should He love me so?

Refrain

How can I help but love Him,
When He loved me so?
How can I help but love Him,
When He loved me so?

I am un­wor­thy to take of His grace,
Wonderful grace so free;
Yes, Je­sus suf­fered and died in my place,
E’en for a soul like me.

Refrain

He is the fair­est of thou­sands to me,
His love is sweet and true;
Wonderful beau­ty in Him I now see,
More than I ev­er knew.
