\nO love of God, how strong and true!
\nEternal, and yet ever new;
\nUncomprehended and unbought,
\nBeyond all knowledge and all thought.<\/p>\n
2
\nO love of God, how deep and great,
\nFar deeper than man’s deepest hate;
\nSelf-fed, self-kindled like the light,
\nChangeless, eternal, infinite.<\/p>\n
3
\nWe read thee best in Him who cam
\nTo bear for us the cross of shame;
\nSent by the Father from on high,
\nOur life to live, our death to die.<\/p>\n
4
\nWe read thy power to bless and save,
\nE’en in the darkness of the grave;
\nStill more in resurrection light
\nWe read the fullness of thy might.<\/p>\n
5
\nO love of God, our shield and stay
\nThrough all the perils of our way!
\nEternal love, in thee we rest,
\nForever safe, forever blest.<\/p>\n
