Unfathomable Love

Author: C. H. M. Hymnal: Songs of the Century #116 (1900) Hymnal Title: Songs of the Century First Line: We may measure the height of the mountains Refrain First Line: God's wonderful love to me Lyrics: 1 We may measure the height of the mountains, And fathom the depths of the sea; But the heart of man never could measure The love that brings pardon to me. It is fathomless, shoreless and boundless, Yet comes in its richness so free, That we all may enjoy of its fullness. E'en sinners, poor sinners like me. Refrain: God's wonderful love to me, God's wonderful love to me; But the heart of man never could measure God's wonderful love to me. 2 Tho' the love of a mother may falter, A father forget his own son, Yet the love of Jehovah remaineth, Forever unchanged as his throne. And although I am least of his children, The weakest and frailest of all, In his heart I am surely remembered, “He noteth the sparrows that fall.” [Refrain] 3 ‘Tis a love that will save us from sinning, Till whiter than snow we may be; And this love without end or beginning, Grows daily more precious to me. I am out where the waters are deeper, And farther away from the shore In this wonderful ocean of fulness Than I ever have been before. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [We may measure the height of the mountains]
