Text: | I have heard of a Saviour's love |
Author (Verses): | Anne Shepherd (1809-57) |
1 I have heard of a Saviour’s love,
And a wonderful love it must be;
But did he come down from above
Out of love and compassion for me?
Refrain:
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
2 I have heard how he suffered and bled,
How he languished and died on the tree;
But then is it anywhere said
That he languished and suffered for me?
3 I’ve been told of a Heaven on high
Which the soldiers of Jesus shall see;
But is there a place in the sky
Made ready and furnished for me?
4 Lord, answer these questions of mine;
To whom shall I go but to thee?
And say, by thy Spirit divine,
There’s a Saviour and Heaven for me.
