Stockton Appears in 139 hymnals First Line: God loved the world of sinners lost Refrain First Line: O 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love Lyrics: 1 God loved the world of sinners lost, And ruined by the fall; Salvation full, at highest cost, He offers free to all. Refrain: Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love! The love of God to me; It brought my Saviour from above, To die on Calvary. 2 Ev'n now by faith I claim him mine, The risen Son of God; Redemption by his death I find, And cleansing thro' the blood. [Refrain] 3 Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to his saints makes known The blessed rest from inbred sin, Thro' faith in Christ alone. [Refrain] 4 Believing souls, rejoicing go; There shall to you be given A glorious foretaste, here below, Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain] 5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power Let all the ransomed sing, And triumph in the dying hour Thro' Christ the Lord our King. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [God loved the world of sinners lost]
