Words

O Love divine, what hast thou done!The incarnate God hath died for me!The Father's well-beloved SonBore all my sins upon the tree!The Son of God for me hath died,—My Lord, my Love, is crucified.

Behold him, all ye passers by—The bleeding Prince of life and peace!Come, sinners, see your Saviour die,And say, was ever grief like his?Come, feel with me his blood applied,—My Lord, my Love, is crucified:

Is crucified for me and you,To bring us rebels back to God;Believe, believe the record true,Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood;Pardon for all flows from his side,—My Lord, my Love, is crucified.

Then let us sit beneath his cross,And gladly catch the healing stream;All things for him account but loss,And give up all our hearts to him!Of nothing think or speak beside,—My Lord, my Love, is crucified.

Stanzas 2–4 are printed as text in the left column below the music, under the reference line «234, 706, 682.» in italics (= may also be sung to the tunes of hymns 234, 706 or 682). «Charles Wesley.» in italics after stanza 4. The print sets a thin space before «!», «?», «;» and «:» («done !», «peace !», «his ?», «God ;», «crucified :»); it is closed up here. The printer's curly apostrophes are written straight («Father's», «Jesus'»). «well-beloved» keeps the hyphen of the compound (the interlinear line hyphenates it «well - be - lov - ed»).
