| 1. Eternal depth of love divine,
In Jesus, God with us, displayed;
How bright Thy beaming
glories shine!
How wide Thy healing
streams are spread!
2. With whom dost Thou
delight to dwell?
Sinners, a vile and thankless race:
O God, what tongue aright can tell
How vast Thy love,
how great Thy grace!
3. The dictates of Thy sovereign will
With joy our grateful hearts receive:
All Thy delight in us fulfill;
Lo! all we are to Thee we give.
4. To Thy sure love, Thy tender care,
Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign:
O fix Thy sacred presence there,
And seal the abode
for ever Thine.
5. O King of glory, Thy rich grace
Our feeble thought surpasses far;
Yea, even our crimes,
though numberless,
Less numerous than
Thy mercies are.
6. Still, Lord, Thy saving
health display,
And arm our souls
with heav’nly zeal;
So fearless shall we urge our way
Through all the powers
of earth and hell.
