Such Love

That God should love

A sinner such as I,

Should yearn to change

My sorrow into bliss,

Nor rest till He

Had planned to bring me nigh,

How wonderful is love like this!

Such love, such wondrous love,

Such love, such wondrous love,

That God should love

A sinner such as I,

How wonderful is love like this!

That Christ should join

So freely in the scheme,

Although it meant

His death on Calvary,

Did ever human tongue

Find nobler theme

Than love divine

That ransomed me?

That for a wilful

Outcast such as I,

The Father planned,

The Saviour bled and died;

Redemption for

A worthless slave to buy,

Who long had law

And grace defied.

And now He takes me

To His heart, a son,

He asks me not

To fill a servant's place;

The "far-off country"

Wand'rings all are done,

Wide open are

His arms of grace.
