O the Depth of Love Divine

Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement II #29 (1987) Languages: English Tune Title: STOOKEY

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #422 (2022) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine, th'unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread His flesh imparts, how the wine transmits His blood, fills his faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! 2 Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; feeble elements bestow a pow'r not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. 3 How can heav'nly spirits rise, by earthly matter fed, drink herewith divine supplies, and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how; Him that did the means ordain! Angels round our altars bow to search it out in vain. 4 God incomprehensible shall we presume to know; fully search Him out, or tell His wondrous ways below? Him in all His ways we find, how the means transmit the pow'r; here He leaves our thought behind, and faith inquires no more. 5 Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; only meet us in Thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heav'nly powers; Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore.
