O love sur­pass­ing hu­man love,
The love di­vine for sin­ners lost;
In love God gave His on­ly Son,
His shame­ful death sal­va­tion’s cost.

Refrain

O bless­èd Sav­ior, by Thy pain,
The sin­ner reaps eter­nal gain.

God loved us when we would not have
His bless­èd Son to be our Lord;
And free­ly, ful­ly He for­gave,
When we be­lieved His ho­ly Word.

Refrain

The Son of God in won­drous love,
On Cal­v’ry’s cross was slain for me;
He paid my debt, He bore my load,
In His own bo­dy on the tree.
