Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #615 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Lyrics: 1 What shall I do my God to love,
my loving God to praise?
The length, and breadth, and height to prove,
and depth of sovereign grace?
2 Thy sovereign grace to all extends,
immense and unconfined;
from age to age it never ends,
it reaches all mankind.
3 Throughout the world its breadth is known,
wide as infinity;
so wide it never passed by one,
or it had passed by me.
4 My trespass was grown up to heaven;
but, far above the skies,
in Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.
5 The depth of all-redeeming love,
what angel tongue can tell?
O may I to the utmost prove
the gift unspeakable!
6 Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take
possession of your own;
my longing heart vouchsafe to make
thy everlasting throne. Languages: English Tune Title: OXFORD NEW
