How matchless is God’s wondrous love!
He gave His Son from heaven above,
That none should perish who believe,
But everlasting life receive.
It was for me; it was for me,
The Saviour died on Calvary;
Salvation full for me to win,
God’s “Whosoever” takes me in.
Herein is love, ’tis love indeed;
A love that meeets our deepest need,
A love that passes human thought,
He loved us when we loved Him not.
To sinners lost, our God commends
His perfect love, which never ends;
The death of Christ that love has shown;
Was love so wondrous ever known?
His love dismisses all our fear,
And to Himself He brings us near;
The Father’s house we soon shall see,
To dwell in love eternally.
