1 | Thy grace, O Lord, that measured once the deep |
Of Calv’ry’s woe, to seek and save Thy sheep, | |
Has touched our hearts and made them long for Thee, | |
Thyself our treasure and our all to be. | |
2 | Thy glory, Lord, at God’s right hand above, |
Supreme of all in that blest scene of love, | |
In sonship tells our hearts their wondrous place, | |
In Thee accepted by the Father’s grace. | |
3 | Thy beauties, Lord, Thy holy precious worth, |
Surpassing far the deepest joys of earth, | |
Attract our hearts – our joy Thy constant love, | |
Thyself our object in those scenes above. | |
4 | Thy fulness, Lord, of light and love divine, |
No thought can grasp, nor human mind define. | |
The whole vast scene of glory will display | |
That fulness in a quickly-coming day. | |
5 | When all things filled by Thee are wholly blest, |
And God’s deep love eternally shall rest | |
In that which ever speaks to Him of Thee, | |
Thy greatness, Lord, the universe shall see. |
