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
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.
