Oh, Love sur¤pass¤ing all the joys of earth,
We o¤pen wide our ea¤ger hearts to Thee,
Come in, Thou Coun¤sel¤lor of Heav’n¤ly birth,
Thy life our be¤ing now E¤ter¤nal¤ly.

Oh, Love sur¤pass¤ing all that man may know,
And all that man may ev¤er hope to be,
Oh, let us in Thy full¤ness lose our woe,
Thy life our be¤ing now E¤ter¤nal¤ly.

Oh, Love sur¤pass¤ing all that man may think,
Ex¤ceed¤ing great¤er far than man can see,
Lost in Thy fath¤om¤less a¤byss we sink,
Thy life our be¤ing now E¤ter¤nal¤ly.

Oh, Love sur¤pass¤ing all the might¤y powers,
Far; far a¤bove all prin¤ci¤pal¤i¤ty,
The strength of Love Om¤nip¤o¤tent is ours,
Thy life our be¤ing now E¤ter¤nal¤ly.

Oh, Love sur¤pass¤ing all the depth and height,
The length and depth of im¤mor¤tal¤i¤ty,
Foun¤da¤tion of God’s be¤ing Sov¤’reign sight,
Thy life our be¤ing now E¤ter¤nal¤ly.
