109. Love Everlasting

1 Love, that opens heav’n to me,
At my Saviour’s cross I see;
Royal mercy he bestows,
Where the precious fountain flows.

Refrain:
Love, love,
Love that opens heav’n to me!
Love, love,
Everlasting, full and free!

2 I will tell it to his praise,
He is with me all the days;
On his mighty arm I lean,
Thro’ life’s ever-changing scene. [Refrain]

3 Holy Spirit, by the pow’r,
Keep me trusting ev’ry hour;
Come within me and abide,
Gift of Jesus glorified. [Refrain]

4 In his image may I grow,
In his footprints onward go,
Till the shadows all are past,
Till the morning breaks at last. [Refrain]
