1.
One day so long ago,
The Royal
King above
Sat upon
His throne,
Looked down
to earth in love;
And through
the din of time
He saw me
in my need,
He stood
beside His throne
And gave
love's great decree,
Great
decree.
2.
He loosed His royal robes
And stepped
into the fray,
Clothed in
rags of flesh,
Became a
Man that day;
He lived as
man on earth
And faced
temptation's strain;
He fought
the pow'r of hell,
The Tempter
fought in vain,
Fought in
vain!
CHORUS:
Love, O such love, how unfailing,
Love, O
such love, how prevailing!
Mercies so
tender, and peace for
all time,
All glory
to this Savior Divine!
3.
Vict'ry marked His life,
But wicked
men conspired;
Hung Him on
the cross
God's Son
was crucified;
But when He
cried, "It's done,"
Gave up the
ghost and died;
God's plan
of love complete,
The debt
was satistied, satisfied!
4.
Satan thought He'd won
As Christ
lay in the tomb;
The hope of
ages dashed,
The saints
were filled with gloom;
But then
heav'n's pow'r awoke
And shook
the earth below;
Death's
grip of fear was crushed,
Christ
lives forevermore, evermore!
CHORUS:
Love, O such love, so unfailing,
Love, O
such love, how prevailing!
Mercies so
tender, and peace for
all time,
All glory
to this Savior Divine!
CHORUS:
Love, O such love, how unfailing,
Love, O
such love, how prevailing!
Mercies so
tender, and peace for
all time,
All glory
to this Savior Divine!
