A Hymn for Sunday

Such Love

Words by C. Bishop
Music by: Robert Harkness


That God should love a sinner such as I,
Should yearn to change my sorrow into bliss
Nor rest till He had planned to bring me nigh,
How wonderful is love like this!

Such love, such wondrous love!
Such love, such wondrous love!
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!

That Christ should join so freely in the scheme,
Although it meant His death on Calvary-
Did ever human tongue find nobler theme,
Than love divine that ransomed me?

Such love, such wondrous love!
Such love, such wondrous love!
That God should love a sinner such as I,
How wonderful is love like this!

That for a willful outcast such as I
The Father planned, the Saviour bled and died,

Temptation for a worthless slave to buy,

Who long had law and grace defied!


Such love, such wondrous love!

Such love, such wondrous love!

That God should love a sinner such as I,

How wonderful is love like this!


And now He takes me to His heart-a son;
He asks me not to fill a servants place.

The "far off country" wand'rings all are done;
Wide open are His arms of grace.

Such love, such wondrous love!
Such love, such wondrous love!
That God should love a sinner such as I,

How wonderful is love like this!

You are very welcome, Sarah. I had never heard it before we began attending our church. I was greatly encouraged by it.
