175. God Loves Me Dearly

1 God love me dearly,
Grants me salvation,
God loves me dearly,
Loves even me.

Refrain:
Therefore I'll say again:
God loves me dearly,
God loves me dearly,
Loves even me.

2 I was in slav'ry,
Sin, death, and darkness;
God's love was working
To make me free. (Refrain)

3 He sent forth Jesus,
My dear Redeemer,
He sent forth Jesus
And set me free. (Refrain)

4 Jesus, my Savior,
Himself did offer;
Jesus, my Savior,
Paid all I owed. (Refrain)
