Representative Text

1 How matchless the love of Jesus,
Who paid sin’s great price for me!
On Calvary’s cross He suffered,
And died there to set me free.

Refrain:
Oh, how matchless His love,
Coming down from above
To die for a sinner like me!
He bought my salvation on dark Calvary,
How matchless His love for me!

2 None other could die for sinners
Except God’s beloved Son;
He met sin’s deep need in anguish
And thus my redemption won. [Refrain]

3 No merit that I could offer
Would satisfy God’s demand;
The strong matchless love of Jesus
Alone for my guilt could stand. [Refrain]

4 What more could such love have cost Him
Than giving Himself to die?
He offered Himself a ransom
God’s purpose to satisfy. [Refrain]

Author: Robert Harkness

After attending a revival meeting by Reuben Torrey and Charles M. Alexander, Harkness became Alexander’s pianist. He came to Christ shortly thereafter (on a bicycle, he said), and made several round the world tours with Torrey and Alexander. Harkness was especially well known for his program The Music of the Cross, and as the author of correspondence courses in hymn playing. He wrote over 2,000 hymns and Gospel songs in his lifetime.
