Verse 1
The love that Jesus had for me,
To suffer on the cruel tree
That I a ransomed soul might be,
Is more than tongue can tell!
Chorus
His love is more than tongue can tell!
His love is more than tongue can tell!
The love that Jesus had for me
Is more than tongue can tell!
Verse 2
The many sorrows that He bore,
And O the crown of thorns He wore,
That I might live for evermore,
Is more than tongue can tell!
Chorus
His love is more than tongue can tell!
His love is more than tongue can tell!
The love that Jesus had for me
Is more than tongue can tell!
Verse 3
The peace I have in Him, my Lord,
Who pleads before the throne of God
The merit of His precious blood,
Is more than tongue can tell!
Chorus
His love is more than tongue can tell!
His love is more than tongue can tell!
The love that Jesus had for me
Is more than tongue can tell!
Verse 4
The joy that comes when He is near,
The rest He gives, so free from fear,
The Hope in Him, so bright and clear,
Is more than tongue can tell.
Chorus
His love is more than tongue can tell!
His love is more than tongue can tell!
The love that Jesus had for me
Is more than tongue can tell!
