Hymn 243 — How sweet is the story of God's boundless love,
| 243 | R. D. EDWARDS | 11.11.11.11. |
| 1 |
How sweet is the story of God's boundless love, That brought His blest Son from the glory above! Who died in our stead upon Calvary's tree, Obtaining redemption that we might be free. | |
| 2 |
How wondrous the story! the claims of the throne Were met by the blood which for guilt did atone; The judgment of sin has been borne by the Son, Who glorified God in the work He has done. | |
| 3 |
How brilliant the glory where Christ is enthroned! How rightly His Name above others is owned! Yes, Jesus, the Saviour, the glory-crowned Lord, Is worthy by all to be ever adored. | |
| 4 |
How great is the gift that the Father now gives To him who obeys and on Jesus believes! The Spirit, who filleth the heart with God's love, Himself the blest Earnest of glory above. | |
