Love

God so loved me that He gave     Jesus for my sins to die;     Jesus loved me in the grave,     Jesus loves me still on high, -     Father-love and Saviour-love,     Mine on earth and mine above!     Love, from highest heights that stooped, -     Love, to deepest depths that came, -     Love, that 'neath my burden drooped, -     Bore my anguish and my shame -     Died, that I may never die, -     Living, lifts me to the sky!     Love, the arm that reached me first, -     Love, the hand that raised me up, -     Love, my prison-bars that burst, -     Love, that filled my brimming cup -     Filled it full of Heavenly wine -     Filled, and blessed, and made it mine!     Love, the holy, cleansing fount     Where I wash my garments white, -     Love, my Tabor, hallowed mount,     Where I stand with Him in sight, -     Love, my watch-tower, till the day     Chase all earth-born mists away!
