O Love divine

by Charles Wesley, 1707–88

1   O LOVE divine! what have You done? 
  The immortal God has died for me! 
 The Father’s co-eternal Son 
  bore all my sins upon the tree;  
 the immortal God for me has died! 
 my Lord, my Love is crucified. 
 
2 Behold Him, you that pass Him by, 
  the bleeding Prince of life and peace!  
 Come, sinners, see your Maker die, 
  and say, was ever grief like His?  
 Come, feel with me His blood applied:  
 my Lord, my Love is crucified: 
 
3 Is crucified for me and you, 
  to bring us rebels back to God:  
 believe, believe the record true, 
  you now are bought with Jesus’ blood,  
 pardon for sin flows from His side:  
 my Lord, my Love is crucified. 
 
4 Then let us sit beneath His cross, 
  and gladly catch the healing stream,  
 all things for Him account but loss, 
  and give up all our hearts to Him;  
 of nothing think or speak beside:  
 my Lord, my Love is crucified.
