Love, Mighty and Wonderful

Representative Text

1 Love in its grandeur, its majesty see,
Love in its greatness for you and for me,
Love in its fulness of strength when it came,
Cloth’d in the sweetness of Jesus’ dear name.

Refrain:
Love, love, mighty and wonderful!
Love, love, so precious, so free!
Love, love, mighty and wonderful!
Reaching to you and to me.

2 Precious, how precious, this wonderful love,
Reaching in mercy to earth from above;
Measureless, boundless, and infinite sea,
Such is God’s love unto you and to me. [Refrain]

3 Let us rejoice in his love ev’ry day,
Tell the glad story to all by the way;
Bringing to Jesus, in love’s sweet control,
Each ransom’d power of body and soul. [Refrain]

4 Earth will be brighter, its pleasures more dear,
When the kind voice of the Saviour you hear;
Calling you upward to joys that endure,
Pleasures eternal abiding and pure. [Refrain]

5 Softly and gently love’s billows shall roll,
Filling with rapture and glory my soul;
Jesus, thy love in its beauty doth shine,
Flooding my heart with a radiance divine.
Pleasures eternal abiding and pure. [Refrain]
