Love

God so loved me that He gave Jesus for my sins to die; Jesus loved me in the grave, Jesus loves me still on high,-- Father-love and Saviour-love, Mine on earth and mine above!

Love, from highest heights that stooped,-- Love, to deepest depths that came,-- Love, that 'neath my burden drooped,-- Bore my anguish and my shame-- Died, that I may never die,-- Living, lifts me to the sky!

Love, the arm that reached me first,-- Love, the hand that raised me up,-- Love, my prison-bars that burst,-- Love, that filled my brimming cup-- Filled it full of Heavenly wine-- Filled, and blessed, and made it mine!

Love, the holy, cleansing fount Where I wash my garments white,-- Love, my Tabor, hallowed mount, Where I stand with Him in sight,-- Love, my watch-tower, till the day Chase all earth-born mists away!
