Oh What a Gift the Father Gave

Verse 1 Oh, what a gift the Father gave
When He bestowed His Son!
To save poor, ruined, guilty man,
By sin defiled, undone.

Verse 2 For I was lost and vile indeed!
To sin a willing prey;
'Til God in mercy interposed,
And turned my night to day.

Verse 3 Now I can call the Saviour mine,
Though all unworthy still;
I'm sheltered by His precious blood,
Beyond the reach of ill.

Verse 4 Come all who trust in Jesus now,
And tell your joys abroad;
Let thankful hymns of praise ascend
For Christ, the gift of God.

Refrain Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wondrous love,
The love of God to me!
It brought my Saviour from above
To die on Calvary
