Long were sunk in sin, and Stained beyond belief.
Now we are God's children, Not by our deserving,
But by saving love, which Came to our relief.
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
2. Now that we've been cleansed by Jesus' precious blood,
and Taught to shun the sin in Which of old we trod,
Earthly clouds of worry Melt away to nothing
In the shining glory Of the light of God.
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
3. O, dear friends, awake from Sin's ensnaring sleep, and
Insubstantial earthly Dreams that fade away!
Now across the earth, the Cry is sounding forth, "To
day's the day of grace! You can be saved today!"
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
Now we are God's children, Not by our deserving,
But by saving love, which Came to our relief.
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
2. Now that we've been cleansed by Jesus' precious blood,
and Taught to shun the sin in Which of old we trod,
Earthly clouds of worry Melt away to nothing
In the shining glory Of the light of God.
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
3. O, dear friends, awake from Sin's ensnaring sleep, and
Insubstantial earthly Dreams that fade away!
Now across the earth, the Cry is sounding forth, "To
day's the day of grace! You can be saved today!"
Such abundant love, Limitless and free!
Praise the grace of Jesus, Dying in our place!
Such abundant love, Love for you and me!
Praise the love of Jesus! Praise His saving grace!
Scripture; Galatians 2:20; 1 John 4:9-10; Ephesians 3:17–19; John 10:10-11
The hymn "The Abundant Love of Jesus" is a cherished expression of Christ’s boundless love, often sung in Christian communities worldwide. However, detailed historical records about its origins are limited.
The hymn is commonly attributed to Haldor Lillenas, a prolific gospel hymn writer and publisher in the early 20th century. Lillenas is known for composing over 4,000 hymns, with "Wonderful Grace of Jesus" being among his most famous works.
While "The Abundant Love of Jesus" shares thematic elements with Lillenas's style, there is no definitive documentation linking him to this particular hymn.
