God Loved the World of Sinners Lost
"God so loved the world, ..." - John 3:16
VERSE 1
God loved the world of sinners lost
And ruined by the fall
Salvation full, at highest cost,
He offers free to all.
CHORUS
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
VERSE 2
Eternal praises, Lord, to Thee,
Thou blessed Son of God;
For Thy deep love in cleansing me,
In Thy most precious blood.
CHORUS
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
VERSE 3
Love brings the glorious fulness in
And to His saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin
Through faith in Christ alone.
CHORUS
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
VERSE 4
Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven.
CHORUS
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
VERSE 5
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.
CHORUS
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love!
The love of God to me;
It brought my Saviour from above,
To die on Calvary.
