 1 

What was it, blessed God,

Led Thee to give Thy Son,

To yield Thy Well-beloved

For us by sin undone?

'Twas love unbounded led Thee thus,

To give Thy Well-beloved for us.

 
 2 

What led Thy Son, O God,

To leave Thy throne on high,

To shed His precious blood,

To suffer and to die?

'Twas love — unbounded love to us

Led Him to die and suffer thus.

 
 3 

What moved Thee to impart

Thy Spirit from above,

Therewith to fill our heart

With heavenly peace and love?

'Twas love — unbounded love to us

Moved Thee to give Thy Spirit thus.

 
 4 

What love to Thee we owe,

Our God, for all Thy grace!

Our hearts may well o'erflow

In everlasting praise!

Make us, O God, to praise Thee thus

For all Thy boundless love to us.
