240. Mighty, Mighty Love of Jesus

8.7.
1
Mighty, mighty love of Jesus!
 
Greater love was never known;
 
Love that stooped from heights of glory — 
 
Love that left for me, a throne.
 
Precious, priceless love of Jesus!
 
All sufficient ’tis for me;
 
All my sins and all my sorrows
 
Fully met at Calvary.
2
Wondrous, wondrous love of Jesus!
 
Once for me He lived a child;
 
Lowly Son of lowly mother — 
 
He, the Christ, the Undefiled!
3
Faithful, faithful love of Jesus!
 
Counting everything but loss,
 
Unto death for me submitting — 
 
Even death upon the cross!
4
Conquering, conquering love of Jesus!
 
Victor o’er the sealèd grave!
 
Trampling down the hosts of darkness,
 
From their power my soul to save.
5
Tender, tender love of Jesus!
 
At the Father’s side He stands,
 
Interceding for me always,
 
Holding up His piercèd hands!
6
Perfect, perfect love of Jesus!
 
In its fullness let me hide,
 
Till the King in all His beauty
 
Comes to claim His spotless bride.
