God loved the world of sinners lost

175
						C.M. Ref.

1	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 fullness in, 
	And to His saints makes known 
	The blessèd 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.
