Hymn 209: O perfect life of love!

Ife lo to bayi

  1. O perfect life of love!
    All, all is finished now,
    All that He left His throne above
    To do for us below.

  2. No work is left undone
    Of all the Father willed;
    His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
    The Scriptures have fulfilled.

  3. No pain that we can share
    But He has felt its smart;
    All forms of human grief and care
    Have pierced that tender heart.

  4. And on His thorn-crowned head
    And on His sinless soul
    Our sins in all their guilt were laid,
    That he might make us whole.

  5. In perfect love He dies;
    For me He dies, for me.
    O all-atoning Sacrifice,
    I cling by faith to Thee.

  6. In ev'ry time of need,
    Before the judgment throne,
    Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead
    Thy merits, not mine own.

  7. Yet work, O Lord, in me,
    As Thou for me hast wrought;
    And let my love the answer be
    To grace Thy love has brought. Amin.
