1
O love of God, how strong
and true!
Eternal, and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and
unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and
all thought.
2
O love of God, how deep and
great,
Far deeper than man's
deepest hate;
Self-fed, self-kindled like
the light,
Changeless, eternal,
infinite.
3
We read thee best in Him
who cam
To bear for us the cross of
shame;
Sent by the Father from on
high,
Our life to live, our death
to die.
4
We read thy power to bless
and save,
E'en in the darkness of the
grave;
Still more in resurrection
light
We read the fullness of thy
might.
5
O love of God, our shield
and stay
Through all the perils of
our way!
Eternal love, in thee we
rest,
Forever safe, forever
blest.
