52. God's Great Love

1 O, the height of God’s great love,
Higher than the sky above,
Higher than the stars that shine,
Shine in my soul O love divine.

Refrain:
High and deep, so broad and wide,
Flows God’s love from Jesus’ side;
Send its fullness from above,
Give unto us Thy saving love.

2 Deep is God’s great love to me,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Drop the line still more and more!
Deep as the sea, from shore to shore. [Refrain]

3 Long is God’s great love, so vast
Reaching far back in the past,
Mine today, tomorrow sure,
God’s love forever will endure. [Refrain]

4 Broad is God’s great love, so wide,
See, it flows a mighty tide,
O, the joy, so great, so sweet,
I seek it now at His dear feet. [Refrain]
