“In his love ... he redeemed them.” Isa. 63. 9

1 Jesus lived, and loved, and died,
  Rose, and lives to intercede;
  And with Zion on his breast,
  He has said he’ll ever rest.

2 Long before this world was made,
  Or that monster, Sin, appeared,
  God was love, and loved the men
  He designèd to redeem.

3 [Love constrained the Lamb to die,
  For a wretch so vile as I;
  Love, immensely great and free,
  Christ has shown to worthless me.]

4 Once I rolled in guilt and sin,
  Heeded not a heart unclean;
  But I now with wonder tell,
  Jesus saved my soul from hell.
