Oh! the love that gave my Lord
To die on Cal­va­ry!
Matchless love un­told, pur­er far than gold;
Love that of­fered all upon
The cross to set me free,
This is the love of Christ for me.

Refrain

Precious love, oh, won­drous love di­vine—
Can it be this match­less love is mine?
Yes! its pow­er thrills me,
And its glo­ry fills me;
Praise His name,
I know His love is mine.

Oh! the love that sought me
When I wan­dered far away!
Bidding me come in from the paths of sin;
Pleading with me gent­ly
Every hour, ev­ery day,
Such was the love of Christ for me.

Refrain

Oh! the love that op­ened wide
The gates of God on high!
For His ran­somed own,
’Round the heav’n­ly throne;
Love di­vine, I’ll un­der­stand it
Fully bye and bye,
Oh! won­drous love of Christ for me.

Refrain
