What length, breadth, height and depth!
What greatness is His love!
How else could I, a sinner vile,
Be in such grace and bliss?
My Saviour paid a price
That I might ransomed be;
Now willingly I'd bear the cross,
And follow faithfully.
The dearest things of earth,
I gladly leave behind;
Nor life, nor death can hold me back
'Tis Christ my soul would find.
My Saviour do I love;
His smile I would obtain.
For Him, let gain be turned to loss,
Let ease be turned to pain.
Jesus, my gracious Lord,
My true comfort to be.
Whom have I on earth or in heav'n
To love, save only Thee?
Let oppositions come,
And hardships from above;
I only ask that Thou wouldst but
Enfold me in Thy love.
While time is short indeed,
Uphold me, Lord, till then;
At Thy return, I'll sing at once:
Hallelujah! Amen.
