I Will Sing of Jesus Love Lyrics
1 I will sing of Jesus’ love,
Sing of him who first loved me;
For he left bright worlds above,
And died on Calvary.
Refrain:
I will sing of Jesus’ love,
Endless praise my heart shall give;
He has died that I might live,
I will sing his love to me
2 Ere a tear had dim’d mine eyes,
Jesus’ tears for me did flow;
Ere my first faint prayer could rise,
He had prayed in tones of woe. [Refrain]
3 O the depths of love divine!
Earth or heav’n can never know
How that sins as dark as mine
Can be made as white as snow. [Refrain]
4 Nothing good for him I’ve done;
How could he such love bestow?
Lord, I own my heart is won;
Help me now my love to show. [Refrain]
I Will Sing of Jesus Love Hymn Story
“I Will Sing of Jesus Love” is a Christian hymn that was written by the prolific American hymn writer, Franklin E Belden.
Belden, who was born in 1858 in Michigan, was a nephew of Ellen G White, one of the founders or pioneers of the Seventh day Adventist Church.
It is said that he was so good at writing music that he would compose a song while a sermon was being preached, songs that would fit the sermon, and then sing that song at the end of that sermon.
He later left the Seventh day Adventist Church after some misunderstandings with the church leadership and also doctrinal differences.
He later wrote songs for the famous American evangelist, Billy Sunday.
