80. The Song of Love

1 Have you heard the song of love?
‘Tis like music from above,
And it sweeter grows each moment, hallelujah!
It has oft been sung before,
And I love it more and more,
O! it sweeter grows each moment, hallelujah!

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
I will sing the love of Jesus, hallelujah!
Sin’s dark stain He washed away,
Now I’m happy all the day,
And go singing on my way, Hallelujah!

2 O, I often wondered why
Jesus left His throne on high;
Now I know ‘twas love unbounded, hallelujah!
Unto me He did impart
Love which broke my stubborn heart;
O! ‘twas love, ‘twas love unbounded, hallelujah! [Refrain]

3 If the shadows round me fall,
He will answer when I call;
He’s a Friend that never faileth, hallelujah!
He will lead me by the hand,
To the happy Summerland,
Jesus never, never faileth, hallelujah! [Refrain]

4 Sinner, why not now believe,
And eternal life receive?
He has purchased your redemption, hallelujah!
Open now your heart of sin;
Jesus waits to enter in;
‘Tis for you, this great redemption, hallelujah! [Refrain]
