Jesus lived, and loved, and died,
by William Gadsby·1814·Meter 7s
Based on Isa 63:9
1
Jesus lived, and loved, and died,
Rose, and lives to intercede;
And with Zion on his breast,
He has said he'll ever rest.
2
Long before this world was made,
Or that monster, Sin, appeared,
God was love, and loved the men
He designèd to redeem.
3
Love constrained the Lamb to die,
For a wretch so vile as I;
Love, immensely great and free,
Christ has shown to worthless me.
4
Once I rolled in guilt and sin,
Heeded not a heart unclean;
But I now with wonder tell,
Jesus saved my soul from hell.
