C.M.D.

GOD loved the world of sinners lost

And ruined by the fall;

Salvation full, at highest cost,

He offers free to all.

O ’twas love, ’twas wondrous love!

The love of God to me;

It brought my Saviour from above,

To die on Calvary.

2

E’en now by faith I claim Him mine,

The risen Son of God;

Redemption by His death I find,

And cleansing through the blood.

3

Love brings the glorious fulness in,

And to His saints makes known

The blessed rest from inbred sin,

Through faith in Christ alone.

4

Believing souls, rejoicing go;

There shall to you be given

A glorious foretaste, here below,

Of endless life in heaven.

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.
