Because of His love the Sav­ior died,
For sin of the world was cru­ci­fied;
With His own blood our ran­som paid,
And for our souls de­liv’rance made.

Refrain

Because of His love, His sac­ri­fice!
Because of His love! O what a price!
He suf­fered and died, was cru­ci­fied,
Because of His love, be­cause of His love.

Because of His love, O bless­èd thought,
Were won­der­ful deeds of mer­cy wrought;
The wind and wave ob­eyed His will—
Hushed by His won­drous Peace—be still.

Refrain

Because of His love, His blest com­mand,
We’ll send the glad word to ev­ery land;
His name, above all names we’ll sing,
And crown Him Sav­ior, Priest and King.
