Author: R. A. John; Gerhard Tersteegen (1697-1769) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #94 (1972) Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9 Lyrics: 1 I sing the praise of love unbounded,
Which God in Christ has shown to man;
I sing of love that hath been founded
Ere yet the stars their courses ran;
The love that offers free salvation
To sinful man of every nation.
2 The love of God planned my salvation
Before I saw the light of day,
And took away the law's damnation
Of him whose feet had gone astray;
God's love is mine, O blessed mortal!
It opens wide the heavenly portal.
3 While life shall last, I'll sing the glory
Of Christ the Saviour and His love;
With angel hosts I'll tell the story
Of Christ, in Zion's home above;
God's love is mine, death cannot sever
Me from that heart that loves forever.
Amen. Topics: Hymns, Songs, Chorales Love of God Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG
