Common Praise ‎#117

117. O love divine, what hast thou done!

1 O Love divine, what hast thou done!
The immortal God hath died for me!
The Father’s co-eternal Son
bore all my sins upon the tree;
the immortal God for me hath died!
My Lord, my Love is crucified:

2 Is crucified for me and you,
to bring us rebels back to God;
believe, believe the record true,
we all are bought with Jesu’ blood,
pardon for all flows from his side:
my Lord, my Love, is crucified.

3 Then let us sit beneath the cross,
and gladly catch the healing stream,
all things for him account but loss,
and give up all our hearts to him;
of nothing think or speak beside:
my Lord, my Love is crucified.
