Author: H. Bonar Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true,
Eternal and yet ever new,
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought.
2 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.
3 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.
4 O love of God, our shield and stay
Through all the perils of our way,
Eternal love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, for ever blest. Topics: General Used With Tune: SWEDEN
