God's Love Be Extolled Forevermore

 Hymn

• God's Love Be Extolled Forevermore
• I
• What do You ask for
• as You bear great humiliation?
• Who do You labor and worry for?
• Hurrying here and there
• to carry out God's will,
• You think only of this work.
• In the tiger's den,
• You express truth to save man,
• quietly endure rejection and slander.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• II
• Humbly, hiddenly,
• speaking and working,
• You never show Yourself off.
• An example to the people,
• You suffer alongside,
• tasting pain among man
• with no complaint or regret.
• You give the way of
• eternal life to mankind.
• Your words and work reveal love.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• III
• To save man You've endured all pain
• and given all,
• never enjoying the warmth on earth.
• You suffer all Your life worrying
• until Your heart,
• Your heart is left in pieces.
• Judged and condemned by man,
• abandoned by the age,
• You've endured the utmost hardship
• to save man.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• IV
• Man is arrogant and rebellious,
• he hurts You often.
• Patiently, You do Your utmost
• to save him.
• No place to rest Your head,
• still You care for man.
• Your words water and nourish people,
• exhorting them again and again,
• only for man to gain life
• and have a good destination.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
• Yes, Your love be extolled,
• forevermore, forevermore.
