Hymn 1182: I have heard of a Saviour's love

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 ?

" This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."

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 ?

" He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities ; the chastise- ment of our peace was upon Him ; and with His stripes we are healed."

3. I've been told of a heaven on high, Which the children of Jesus shall see ; But is there a place in the sky Made ready and furnished for me ?

" In My Father's house are many mansions : if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you ; that where I am, there ye may be also."

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.

Yes, yes, yes, for me ! for me ! Yes, yes, yes, for me ! Our Lord from above, in His infinite love, On the cross died to save you and me.
