The Savior's Love

Poet:  J. J. Thorne

Jesus died on Calvary's mountain.
He submitted himself for all;
To bleed and die upon the cross,
For those on Him who call.

He shed his blood for our sins,
That we might through him be saved;
On him depends our wretched hearts,
A Triumph over the grave.

He submitted himself with all power.
On earth and in heaven above;
To die and go down in the grave.
To redeem those he loved.

He breathed the calm sweet sleep of death,
Three days in the grave.
To cleanse the heart of wrecked sinners,
A loving Savior Jehovah gave.

In the grave he fixed it complete,
A happy home to please us;
Who would have borne the spear of death,
And given their life for Jesus?

He rose again the third day;
His power spread his fame;
His love a ransom of the world.
For all that believe upon his name.

He bore our burden, he paid our debt,
And ascended to heaven above,
To prepare a home for his children,
To sing praise, peace and love.

When we have finished our journey of life,
And eternity sounds its call;
He sends his artels to take us home,
To meet the Lord of all.

A heavenly home of joy and love,
None save Jesus he gives alone;
He sacrificed his precious blood,
To join us in his throne.

There to praise the tender shepherd,
No tears of sorrow fall;
All praise and honor of his ascension,
Bestowed the Lord of all.
