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.
Even now by faith I claim him mine,
the risen Son of God;
redemption by his death I find,
and cleansing through his blood. Refrain
Love brings the glorious fullness in,
and to his saints makes known
the blessèd rest from inbred sin,
through faith in Christ alone. Refrain
Believing souls, rejoicing go;
there shall to you be given
a glorious foretaste here below
of endless life in heaven. Refrain
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
