The Old Story in Song ‎#157

157. Great is the Love of Jesus

1 Great is the love that brought me,
Out of the path of sin;
Great is the love that gave me,
Pardon and peace within.

Refrain:
Great is the love that saves me,
Saves me hour by hour;
Wonderful love of Jesus,
Who can resist his pow’r.

2 Great is the love that draws me,
Near to my heav’nly Guide;
Great is the love that keeps me,
Close to his bleeding side. [Refrain]

3 Great is the love that leads me,
Safely where’er I go;
More of its pow’r and greatness,
Teach me, O Lord, to know. [Refrain]

4 Great is the love preparing,
Mansions of rest above;
There shall I know its fullness,
Wonderful, boundless love. [Refrain]
