O Love of God, How Strong and True

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 110 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ 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 heavenly love, how precious still, In days of weariness and ill, In nights of pain and helplessness, To heal, to comfort, and to bless! 3 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. 4 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. 5 We read thy power to bless and save, E'en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection-light We read the fulness of thy might. 6 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.
