Page 26 - English Hymn Book 2018

As I roamed through this earth, guilty and hopeless,
With all the crimes of my sin, I stained my soul;
Yet his compassion, and his noble heart,
All my dark transgressions, His loving hand did cleanse.
3
I love the name of my God, through all my worries,
By fa Ith I will prevail over distress;
So for this reason, I do give Him glory,
For my only weapon is prayer to my Lord.
4
He loves me too I know and understand this,
He gave me life by shedding His own blood,
I will entrust Him with my grief and burdens.
And His holy hand, indeed will bless my soul.

Jn 3.16 LOVE /Titus 2.11 GRACE
Oh, Love, oh, what sublime sweet love,
A gift from God above, without compare;
And like Hermon's perennial dew.
So God did bless this world for ages more.
CHORUS
Divine sweet love, oh, what great love,
Full of His grace and of shining light;
The glory of His splendid love,
Was when they nailed Him up on the cross.
2
His footprints show kindness for all,
Eternal mercy as no one can give;
It overflows the heart and soul,
Ra inf alls of blessings flooding as a spring.
3
Most glorious work of charity,
That brought salvation to humanity;
Bestowed benevolence to all,
A gift that only God ever bestowed.
