O Perfect Life of Love

Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: O perfect life of love! Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love! All, all, is finished now, All that He left His throne above To do for us below. 2 No work is left undone Of all the Father willed; His toil, His sorrows, one by one, The Scriptures have fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share But He has felt its smart; All forms of human grief and care Have pierced that tender heart. 4 And on His thorn-crowned head And on His sinless soul Our sins in all their guilt were laid That he might make us whole. 5 In perfect love He dies; For me He dies, for me. O all atoning Sacrifice, I cling by faith to Thee. 6 In ev'ry time of need, Before the judgment throne, Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead, Thy merits, not mine own. 7 Yet work, O Lord, in me As Thou for me hast wrought; And let my love the answer be To grace Thy love has brought.
