Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once his kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glories raised, He rejoices in the same; Still he calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another What he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother Loved us though we treat him thus: Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still. 5 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought. Languages: English

When peace shall over all the earth Its final splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing! Languages: English Tune Title: CAROL
