Tender love of Je­sus, so love­ly and so pure;
Flowing thru this ves­sel to strength­en, fill and cure
All the doubt and tur­moil that’s caused by sin and shame,
Making me a wit­ness to His most ho­ly name.
Yes, love, Christ’s love, pure love, great love;
With joy my heart is sing­ing, the things of life grow dim,
For Christ is love!

Thru the pass­ing ag­es flowed down this love di­vine,
Lighting men and an­gels and caus­ing them to shine,
What a heav’n­ly ra­di­ance, His glo­ry from above,
Sunshine of the Spi­rit, the ho­ly light of love.
Yes, love, Christ’s love, pure love, great love;
With joy my heart is sing­ing, the things of life grow dim,
For Christ is love!

Tender love from Hea­ven in Je­sus came to live,
Showing us how God loves, and then His life to give;
Came to be a ser­vant, with God’s great pow’r and peace
Leads us to the Fa­ther, whose love will ne­ver cease.
God’s love, sweet love from Heav’n above.
This love is like an ocean, its waves are reach­ing me;
Christ came this love to be.

Love is mine in Je­sus, this babe of Beth­le­hem,
Prince of Peace for­ev­er, the Christ, the great I AM.
Angels gave the mes­sage, and she­pherds passed it on,
Love will be the sto­ry when Heav’n and earth are gone.
God’s love, sweet love from Heav’n above.
This love is like an ocean, its waves are reach­ing me;
Christ came this love to be.
