"O love of God, how strong and true! "
Romans 8:38-39
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor heavenly rulers, nor things that are present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. "
"O love of God, how strong and true!
Eternal, and yet ever new;
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.
O love of God, how deep and great!
Far deeper than man’s deepest hate;
Self fed, self kindled, like the light,
Changeless, eternal, infinite.
O heavenly love, how precious still,
In days of weariness and ill,
In nights of pain and helplessness,
To heal, to comfort, and to bless!
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.
We read thy power to bless and save,
Even in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light,
We read the fullness of thy might.
O love of God, our shield and stay
Through all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in thee we rest
Forever safe, forever blest."
- O love of God, how strong and true!
Horatius Bonar, 1861.
To each of us You extend Your hand -
to walk with You in this land
To let You carry us in times of grief
To be our comfort and our needs to meet
You extend Your hand to reign with You
To overcome and see as You do.
Then on the Day we go to meet
You extend Your hand from the mercy seat
As we put our hand in Yours
We cross all boundaries and all shores
We enter into the fullness of
your purposes, plans, and your love.
