AN EVERLASTING LOVE.

It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine, My Jesus, Saviour; yet this soul of mine Would of Thy love, in all its breadth and length, Its height and depth, its everlasting strength, Know more and more.
It passeth telling, that dear love of Thine, My Jesus, Saviour; yet these lips of mine Would fain proclaim to sinners, far and near, A love which can remove all guilty fear, And love beget.
It passeth praises, that dear love of Thine, My Jesus, Saviour; yet this heart of mine Would sing that love, so full, so rich, so free, Which brings a rebel sinner such as me Nigh unto God.
I am an empty vessel—not one thought Or look of love I ever to Thee brought; Yet I may come, and come again to Thee, With this, the empty sinner’s only plea: Thou lovest me.
—Anon.
