Hymn
He Loved Me
Words: McCown, Viana Butler, 1885-
When Jesus came down from His throne above, He loved me, He loved me, He brought to the world His undying love, That loved even me.
Refrain
He loved me, He loved me Enough His blood to outpour; He loved me, He loved me! O but to love Him more!
Though oft He was weary and sad and lone, He loved me, He loved me, Despised and rejected, He labored on, And loved even me. [Refrain]
When wounded His sacred—His thorn crowned head— He loved me, He loved me, My sin on His sin-bearing soul He laid, And loved even me. [Refrain]
I know that my blessed Redeemer lives, He loved me, He loved me, And daily this blessed assurance gives, He loves even me. [Refrain]
