The height and depth of God’s re¤deem¤ing love
No mind can com¤pre¤hend, no tongue can tell
God’s gift un¤speak¤a¤ble from heav’n a¤bove
Is Christ re¤vealed in hum¤ble hearts to dwell.

O Lamb of God, in Thee I rest se¤cure,
Thou art the King of right¤eous¤ness and peace,
Thy love un¤fail¤ing shall for aye en¤dure,
A¤bound with¤in my soul and nev¤er cease.

O love which brought my Sav¤iour from on high,
How can my soul de¤clare Thy match¤less worth?
I know, I feel that Thou art al¤ways nigh
To save me from the worth¤less things of earth.

O length and breadth of love and sov¤’reign grace,
I sigh and long to lose my¤self in Thee,
That I may ful¤ly ap¤pre¤hend and trace
The foot¤prints of the One who died for me.

O bound¤less love, O, fath¤om¤less a¤byss,
My soul is lost in Thy im¤men¤si¤ty,
In Thee I find my joy and ho¤li¤ness,
The ful¤ness of the God¤head bod¤i¤ly.
