O Love of God!

By Horatius Bonar

O Love of God! how strong and true, Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought!
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!
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.
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.
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.
—Horatius Bonar.
