March 2016 – O Love Divine


Words by Fanny Crosby; Traditional Irish folk tune; Melodic adaptation © 1999 and arrangment © 2010 Heart Publications, Milwaukee, WI.

VERSE 1
O, Love Divine, amazing love,
That brought to earth from Heaven above,
The Son of God for us to die,
That we might dwell on high.

CHORUS
He died for you, He died for me,
He shed His blood to make us free
Upon the cross of Calvary.
The Savior died for me.

VERSE 2
For us a crown of thorns He wore,
For us a robe of scorn He bore,
He conquered death and raised the grave,
And lives again our souls to save.

VERSE 3
O, Wanderer, come I bid believe,
His grace by faith receive,
Awake our eyes and hear His call,
The feast is spread for all.
