116. Unfathomable Love

1 We may measure the height of the mountains,
And fathom the depths of the sea;
But the heart of man never could measure
The love that brings pardon to me.
It is fathomless, shoreless and boundless,
Yet comes in its richness so free,
That we all may enjoy of its fullness.
E'en sinners, poor sinners like me.

Refrain:
God's wonderful love to me,
God's wonderful love to me;
But the heart of man never could measure
God's wonderful love to me.

2 Tho' the love of a mother may falter,
A father forget his own son,
Yet the love of Jehovah remaineth,
Forever unchanged as his throne.
And although I am least of his children,
The weakest and frailest of all,
In his heart I am surely remembered,
“He noteth the sparrows that fall.” [Refrain]

3 ‘Tis a love that will save us from sinning,
Till whiter than snow we may be;
And this love without end or beginning,
Grows daily more precious to me.
I am out where the waters are deeper,
And farther away from the shore
In this wonderful ocean of fulness
Than I ever have been before. [Refrain]
