O Love Surpassing Human Love

O love surpassing human love,

The love divine for sinners lost;

In love God gave His only Son,

His shameful death salvation’s cost.

Refrain

O blessèd Savior, by Thy pain,

The sinner reaps eternal gain.

God loved us when we would not have

His blessèd Son to be our Lord;

And freely, fully He forgave,

When we believed His holy Word.

Refrain

The Son of God in wondrous love,

On Calv’ry’s cross was slain for me;

He paid my debt, He bore my load,

“In His own body on the tree.”

Refrain
