20. The Love of GOD

1 The love of God is a sea,
A sea without a shore,
He dy'd for sinners such as we,
Praise him forevermore.

2 This sweet eternal love,
O what a glorious theme,
The saints can sound those notes above,
And we can faintly dream.

3 The blessed fountain love,
That sweet and endless stream,
The saints and angels now above,
Are now a swimming in.

4 We taste a drop below,
It fills our souls with bliss,
We pant and long, and wish to know,
The full extent of this.

5 Our souls would gladly swim,
In this eternal sea,
Yes, drink and draw those comforts in,
To one eternal day.

6 But O the time will come
That we shall reach the shore,
This happy sea will be our home,
Praise God forevermore.
