INFINITE, unexhausted Love!By A Collection of Hymns C.M. 1 INFINITE, unexhausted Love! Jesus and love are one! If still to me thy bowels move, They are restrained to none.
2 What shall I do my God to love? My loving God to praise? The length, and breadth, and height to prove And depth of sovereign grace? 3 Thy sovereign grace to all extends, Immense and unconfined; From age to age it never ends; It reaches all mankind. 4 Throughout the world its breadth is known, Wide as infinity; So wide, it never passed by one, Or it had passed by me. 5 My trespass was grown up to heaven; But far above the skies, In Christ abundantly forgiven, I see thy mercies rise. 6 The depth of all-redeeming love What angel-tongue can tell? O may I to the utmost prove The gift unspeakable! 7 Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence; Deeper than inbred sin, Jesus's love my heart shall cleanse When Jesus enters in. 8 Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take Possession of thine own; My longing heart vouchsafe to make Thine everlasting throne! 9 Assert thy claim, maintain thy right, Come quickly from above; And sink me to perfection's height, The depth of humble love.
