Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory

Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, your love's tremendous glory cascades through life in overflowing grace, to tell creation's meaning in the story of love evolving love from time and space. 2 Eternal Son of God, uniquely precious, in you, deserted, scorned and crucified, God's love has fathomed sin and death's deep darkness, and flawed humanity is glorified. 3 Eternal Spirit, with us like a mother, embracing us in love serene and pure: you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother, as full-grown children, confident and sure. 4 Love's trinity, self-perfect, self-sustaining; love which commands, enables and obeys: you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating one vast increasing harmony of praise. 5 We ask you now, complete your image in us; this love of yours, our source and guide and goal. May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose, till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Scripture: Genesis 1, 2:1-4 Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD
