LyicsO LOVE of God, how strong and true;
Eternal and yet ever new;
Above all price, and still unbought;
Beyond all knowledge and all thought!
O wide-embracing, wondrous love,
We read thee in the sky above;
We read thee in the earth below,
In seas that swell and streams that flow.
We read thee best in him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame;
Sent by the Father from on high;
Our life to live, our death to die.
