Redeeming Love. Jer. 31. 3; Heb. 9. 12

1 O the love of Christ to sinners!
  Who can make its wonders known?
  Sin-born slaves, through grace, are winners
  Of a bright celestial crown;
  Jesus gives us
  Endless glory and renown.

2 We, by nature, are disgraceful;
  Nothing but the filth of hell;
  All our righteousnesses hateful;
  Who can half our baseness tell?
  Satan’s captives,
  And we loved his service well.

3 Jesus saw us sunk in ruin,
  And, determined us to save,
  Shed his blood, and brought us to him;
  For our life his own he gave;
  He redeemed us
  From sin, Satan, and the grave.

4 Endless love he fixed upon us,
  In eternity that’s past;
  Nor will ever take it from us;
  Endless love shall ever last;
  Love redeemed us,
  And will ever hold us fast.
