Jehovah’s Love — Don Fortner

(Tune: #477— When I Can Read My Title Clear —CM)

1.    What sacred theme inspires the hearts

Of God’s elect with songs?

What is the song of saints above,

The ransomed, blood-bought throng ?

2.    Jehovah’s love swells every note,

And sounds from every chord.

Throughout the nations of the earth, —

And echoes back to God!

3.    He loved His saints ere time began,

And gave them to His Son;

Yea, love contrived His cov’nant and —

The cov’nant work was done!

4.    He loved His chosen when they lay

Beneath sin’s cruel yoke;

‘Twas love that stooped our debt to pay,

And love our fetters broke.

5.    Unchanging love, alone, could bear

With sinners vile and base.

It gives us heav’n, it takes us there,

And tunes our harps for praise!

Don Fortner
