Tune: Supreme Sacrifice
(\'O valiant hearts\')
John 15 v.12-17 parts
*********
There no greater love one can have than this
To lay down their life, sanctifying bliss
Lay life down for their friends, as Christ did say
And fullness of His love to us display
And in remembrances of battles, wars
Troubles and conflicts reaching to the shores
Of this earthly land, King of Peace, your peace
Send to us, kingdom that shall never cease
We now your friends if we do you obey
Obeying your command to love, you say
Shown in many ways here in deed and word
Your voice, the good Shepherd, we true have heard
You the sacrifice, offering for our sins
In you we trust, and so new life begins
Give us grace to in your service down lay
Our lives, self deny, follow in your way
