God Loved the World

Author: Martha Matilda Stockton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1896 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 O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love, The love of God to me; It brought my Savior from above, To die on Calvary! 2. E’en now by faith I claim Him mine, The risen Son of God; Redemption by His death I find, And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain] 3. Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to His saints makes known The blessèd rest from inbred sin, Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain] 4. Believing souls, rejoicing go; There shall to you be giv’n A glorious foretaste, here below, Of endless life in Heav’n. [Refrain] 5. Of victory now o’er Satan’s power Let all the ransomed sing, And triumph in the dying hour Through Christ, the Lord, our King. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [God loved the world of sinners lost]
