The Voice of Praise ‎#95

95. O love of God, how strong and true!

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.
