770. Jesus' Love Unbounded

1 Jesus’ love unbounded
none can e’er explain,
yet we, his disciples,
often cause him pain;
even they forget him
who have seen his face;
even they still grieve him
who enjoy his grace.

2 While we your past dealings
gratefully review,
we’re assured your mercies
are each morning new;
pardon our transgressions,
hear our earnest cry;
us in soul and body
heal and sanctify.

3 All our days, O Jesus,
hallow unto you;
may our lives be given
in your service true;
let us all experience,
to the end of days,
your abiding presence
and your loving grace.
