Love Surpassing Human Love

Author: Irene Durfee Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4033 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: O love surpassing human love Refrain First Line: O bless'd Savior, by Thy pain Lyrics: 1. O love surpassing human love, The love divine for sinners lost; In love God gave His only Son, His shameful death salvation’s cost. Refrain O blessèd Savior, by Thy pain, The sinner reaps eternal gain. 2. God loved us when we would not have His blessèd Son to be our Lord; And freely, fully He forgave, When we believed His holy Word. [Refrain] 3. The Son of God in wondrous love, On Calv’ry’s cross was slain for me; He paid my debt, He bore my load, In His own body on the tree. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: DURFEE
