See How He Loved

Author: Sarah Bache Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: "See how He loved!" exclaimed the Jews Lyrics: 1 "See how He loved!" exclaimed the Jews, As tender tears from Jesus fell; My grateful heart the thought pursues, And on the theme delights to dwell. 2 See how He loved, who traveled on, Teaching the doctrine from the skies; Who bade disease and pain be gone, And called the sleeping dead to rise. 3 See how He loved, who, firm yet mild, Patient endured the scoffing tongue; Though oft provoked, he ne’er reviled, Or did His greatest foe a wrong. 4 See how He loved, who never shrank From toil or danger, pain or death; Who all the cup of sorrow drank, And meekly yielded up His breath. 5 Such love can we unmoved survey? O may our breasts with ardor glow To tread His steps, His laws obey, And thus our warm affections show. Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY Text Sources: Exeter Collection by Lant Carpenter, 1812

Author of "See how he loved, exclaimed the Jews" in A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for the Use of Universalist Societies and Families 16ed. In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
