12. God Loved the World So Tenderly | C.M. |
|
|
| | |
|
| 1 | God loved the world so tenderly, |
| His only Son He gave, |
| That all who on His name believe, |
| Its wondrous power will save. |
|
| For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, |
| That whosoever believeth in Him |
| Should not perish, should not perish; |
| That whosoever believeth in Him |
| Should not perish, but have everlasting life. |
|
| 2 | Oh, love that only God can feel, |
| And only He can show! |
| Its height and depth, its length and breadth, |
| Nor heaven nor earth can know! |
|
| 3 | Why perish, then, ye careless ones? |
| Why slight the gracious call? |
| Why turn from Him whose words proclaim |
| Eternal life to all? |
|
| 4 | O Saviour, melt these hearts of theirs, |
| And bring them to believe |
| That whosoever comes to Thee |
| Shall endless life receive. |
