How Loving Is Jesus!
Author: Randall H. Ballantyne Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 51 hymnals First Line: How loving is Jesus! who came from the sky Lyrics: 1 How loving is Jesus! who came from the sky,
In tenderest pity for sinners to die;
His hands and His feet they were nailed to the tree,
And all this He suffered for you and for me.
2 How gladly does Jesus free pardon impart
To all who receive Him by faith in their heart;
No evil befalls them, their home is above,
And Jesus throws round them the arms of His love.
3 How precious is Jesus to all who believe,
And out of His fullness what grace they receive!
When weak, He supports them; when erring, He guides;
And every thing needful He kindly provides.
4 Oh, give then to Jesus your earliest days,
They only are blessèd who walk in His ways;
In life and in death He will still be your friend,
For whom Jesus loves, He loves to the end. Used With Tune: IBÉRICO Text Sources: Young Singer's Friend, or, the Lee Avenue Collection of Hymns and Songs by Jeremiah Johnson (New York: A. S. Barnes & Company, 1859)

Composer of "IBÉRICO" in The Cyber Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
