How tenĀderĀly JeĀsus loves us,
With love so pure and free;
Down from His throne abĀove us,
It comes to you and me.
Refrain
Oh, who can conĀceive it?
Oh, who can beĀlieve it?
Oh, who will reĀceive it,
This love so free?
His love so freeĀly givĀen,
Was purĀchased by His blood,
That from His dear side rivĀen
Pours forth a savĀing flood.
Refrain
Beneath that purĀple fountĀain,
That flows from JeĀsusā side,
Down ovĀer CalĀvaĀryās mountĀain
We safeĀly may abĀide.
Refrain
And now the SavĀior begs us
This preĀcious love reĀceive;
And all that it will cost us,
Is simĀply to beĀlieve.
