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!
