296. He Loved Me So

1 By faith the Lamb of God I see
Expiring on the cross for me;
He paid the mighty debt I owe;
He died because he loved me so.

Refrain:
He loved me so, he loved me so,
He died because he loved me so.

2 For me the Father sent his Son;
For me the victory he won;
To save my soul from endless woe,
He died because he loved me so. [Refrain]

3 So glad I am that he is mine,--
So glad that I with him shall shine;
I’ll trust in him, for this I know,
He died because he loved me so. [Refrain]

4 O Lamb of God, that made me free,
I consecrate my all to thee;
My all,—for this I surely know,
He died because he loved me so. [Refrain]

5 And when my Lord shall bid me come
To join the loved ones round the throne,
I’ll sing, as through the gates I go,
He died because he loved me so. [Refrain]
