Love's Redeeming Work is Done

by High Street Hymns

/
1.
God is love, let heav’n adore him God is love let earth rejoice Let creation sing before him And exalt him with one voice God who laid the earth’s foundation God who spread the heavens above God who breathes through all creation God is love, eternal love God is love, eternal love God is love and love enfolds us All the world in one embrace With unfailing grasp God holds us Every child of every race And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow’s iron rod Then we find that self same aching Deep within the heart of God Deep within the heart of God God is love and though with blindness Sin afflicts all human life God’s eternal loving kindness Guides us through our earthly strife Sin and death and hell shall never O’er us final triumph gain God is love so love forever O’er the universe shall reign O’er the universe shall reign

Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down; Fix in us thy humble dwelling; All thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find the promised rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee; Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There’s a welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in his blood. There’s no place where earthen sorrow Is felt more than in heav’n; There’s no place where earthly failings Have forgiveness freely giv’n There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head For the love of God is broader Than the measure of our mind And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more faithful, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of the Lord For the goodness of the Lord

O Love divine, what has thou done! The immortal died for me. The Father's own beloved Son Bore my sin on a tree. O immortal God for me hath died: My Lord, my Love, is crucified! Is crucified for me and you, to bring us back to God. Believe, believe the record true, We are bought with blood. Pardon for all flows from His side: My Lord, my Love, is crucified! Behold him, all ye passers by, the bleeding Prince of peace! Come, sinners, see your Savior die, Was ever grief like His? Come, feel with me His blood applied: My Lord, my Love, is crucified!
5.
Love’s redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won. Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ has opened paradise Alleluia, Alleluia! Alleluia! Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once He died our souls to save, Where thy victory, O grave? Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
