241. The Love That Jesus Had for Me
8.8.8.6.
1
The love that Jesus had for me,
To suffer on the cruel tree,
That I a ransomed soul might be,
Is more than tongue can tell!
His love is more than tongue can tell;
His love is more than tongue can tell;
The love that Jesus had for me
Is more than tongue can tell!
2
The bitter sorrow that He bore,
And, oh, the crown of thorns He wore,
That I might live forevermore,
Is more than tongue can tell!
3
The peace I have in Him, my Lord,
Who pleads before the throne of God
The merit of His precious blood,
Is more than tongue can tell!
4
The joy that comes when He is near,
The rest He gives, so free from fear,
The hope in Him so bright and clear
Is more than tongue can tell!
