I have read of the Saviour’s love,
And a wonderful love it must be
But did He come down from above,
Out of love and compassion for me?
I’ve heard how He suffered and bled,
How He languished and died on the tree;
But then is it anywhere said,
That He languished and suffered for me?
I’ve been told of a heaven on high,
Which the children of God soon will see;
But is there a place in the sky
Made ready and furnished for me?
O, yes! for His love is as wide,
And as deep as the fathomless sea;
And love such as this will provide
Even blessings eternal for me!
