172:I have heard of a Saviour's love
| Tunes: | Yes, O yes!, 456 |

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?
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?
3 I?ve been told of a Heaven on high
Which the soldiers of Jesus shall see;
But is there a place in the sky
Made ready and furnished for me?
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.
Chorus
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
And a wonderful love it must be;
But did he come down from above
Out of love and compassion for me?
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?
3 I?ve been told of a Heaven on high
Which the soldiers of Jesus shall see;
But is there a place in the sky
Made ready and furnished for me?
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.
Chorus
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
Yes, O yes!
Out of love and compassion for me!
