John 15:13: Greater love is not in man

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Greater love is not in man,
But greater is in God;
Life for sinners to regain
Jehovah sheds His blood,
Gives Himself a sacrifice,
His own most precious blood expends,
Freely for His foes He dies,
And turns them into friends.
