1 O’er Judah’s plain, long years ago,
The song rang out that all might know,
The Christ was born, the promised One,
The Father’s well-beloved Son.

Refrain:
He loved me so, He loved me so,
He came to save my soul from woe,
It fills my heart with joy, to know,
It was because He loved me so.

2 His life of toil, neglect and pain,
To save my soul, shall it be vain?
Gethsem’ny’s pray’rs before me rise!
For this my Lord left Paradise. [Refrain]

3 Up Calvary His cross He bore,
The crown of thorns for me He wore;
The taunts, the sneers, Oh! can it be,
All this for me, all this for me? [Refrain]

4 His life He gave, and this small thing,
My heart, He asks of me to bring;
Heav’ns gifts to me had not appealed,
But to His love I yield, I yield. [Refrain]
