“And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:19 (C.M. Penmachno)
There is a love that Christ alone
Can give to hearts that seek:
A love that fills and keeps His own,
And makes the mighty meek.
Such meekness, Lord, is strength divine,
That leads to paths of grace:
That tells my heart that I am Thine,
And shall behold Thy face.
The length and breadth no more can tell
The depth and height of love:
It passes knowledge, like the swell
Of gracious waves above.
There is a place where I may find
The fulness of God’s grace:
A path of faith and love, to bind
God’s promise and embrace.
O let me, Lord, pursue Thee now,
The Christ of Calvary:
O stir my soul that I may bow,
And plead my cause to Thee.
This promise, Thou wilt honour, Lord,
To hearts that Thou hast moved:
O leave me not, but grace afford,
And let Thy name be proved
Exalt Thy name in hearts of stone,
Now stirred to love Thy name:
For Thou art God, and Thou alone
Canst spread Thy royal fame.
