O Love Divine! what hast Thou done!

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 154 hymnals Topics: Christ Love of; Love Of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Love Divine! what hast Thou done! The incarnate God hath died for me! The Father's co-eternal Son Bore all my sins upon the tree: The incarnate God for me hath died; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 2 Behold Him, all ye that pass by, The bleeding Prince of Life and Peace! Come, sinners, see your Saviour die, And say, was ever grief like His! Come, feel with me His blood applied; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 3 Is crucified for me and you, To bring us rebels back to God; Believer, believe the record true; Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood; Pardon for all flows from His side; My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath His 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.

See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

When shall my soul return again To her eternal rest? 2 Ah! what avails my strife, My wand'ring to and fro? Thou hast the words of endless life; Ah! whither should I go? 3 Thy condescending grace To me did freely move; It calls me still to seek Thy face, And stoops to ask my love. 4 And can I yet delay My love, my life to give? To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive? 5 Nay, but I yield, I yield! I can hold out no more; I sink, by dying love compelled, And own Thee conqueror. Used With Tune: TRENTHAM
