Lord Jesus Christ, ‘tis love,
So rich and free,
That with adoring hearts
In Thee we see.
Love in Thy blessed life
We gladly trace;
In which Thou wert with joy
Showing God’s grace.
Love that in view of death,
So true, so deep,
Would Thy most precious life
Give for the sheep.
Love that endured the cross,
It’s shame and woe.
It’s blessed power doth make
Our hearts to glow.
Love that, in glory fair,
No change doth know,
That from the Father’s throne
Doth ceaseless flow;
And will forever flow
To all, to each
That in God’s day of grace
Thy love did reach.
Keep us, O living Lord,
In that great love,
Till Thy blest face we see
With joy above.
