474. Jesus' Love Unbounded

1 Jesus’ love unbounded
None can e’er explain,
Yet we, His disciples,
Often cause Him pain;
Even they forget
Him Who have seen His face;
Even they still grieve Him
Who enjoy His grace.

2 While we Thy past dealings
Gratefully review,
We’re assured Thy mercies
Are each morning new;
Pardon our transgressions,
Hear our earnest cry;
Us in soul and body
Heal and sanctify.

3 All our days, O Jesus,
Hallow unto Thee;
May our conversation
To Thy honor be;
Let us all experience,
To the end of days,
Thy abiding presence
‘Midst Thy chosen race.
