Text: | O love of God, how strong and true! |
Author: | Anon. |
1 O love of God, how strong and true!
Eternal and yet ever new;
Above all price, and still unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.
2 O wide embracing, wondrous love,
We read thee in the sky above,
We read thee in the earth below,
In seas that swell and streams that flow.
3 We read thee best in him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame;
Sent by the Father from on high,
Our life to live, our death to die.
4 O love of God, our shield and stay,
Through all the perils of our way;
Eternal love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, for ever blest.
