1 Let us sing of the love of the Lord,
As now to the cross we draw nigh;
Let us sing to the praise of the God of all grace,
For the love that gave Jesus to die.

Refrain:
O the love that gave Jesus to die,
The love that gave Jesus to die;
Praise God, it is mine, this love so divine.
The love that gave Jesus to die.

2 O how great was the love that was shown
To us!—we can never tell why—
Not to angels, but men; let us praise Him again
For the love that gave Jesus to die. [Refrain]

3 Now this love unto all God commends,
Not one would His mercy pass by;
“Whosoever shall call,” there is pardon for all
In the love that gave Jesus to die. [Refrain]

4 Who is he that can separate those
Whom God doth in love justify?
Whatsoever we need He includes in the deed,
In the love that gave Jesus to die. [Refrain]
