LyicsBehold the love, the grace of God
Display'd in Jesus' precious blood;
My soul's on fire-it pants to prove
The fullness of redeeming love.
Our God is love, O leap my soul,
Let warm hosannah's gently roll;
Love gave his son to save our race;
'Twas Jesus dy'd! Amazing grace!
What Love has done, sing earth around,
Angels prolong th' eternal sound,
Lo! Jesus dy'd upon the tree-
There, there, the love of God I see.
The cross I view! O wondrous love!
My sins expire, my fears remove-
My native enmity is slain,
I'm reconcil'd, I'm born again.
By faith in Jesus' bloody cross
The Devil's kingdom suffers loss;
Crowds, on the way from sin to God,
Have overcome through Jesus' blood.
Shout christians, shout, the Lord is come,
Prepare, prepare to make him room-
On earth he reigns, we feel him near,
The signs of glory now appear.
