Additional Information

1 O love of God, how strong and true,
eternal and yet ever new,
uncomprehended and unbought,
beyond all knowledge and all thought!

2 O heav'nly love, how precious still,
in days of weariness and ill,
in nights of pain and helplessness,
to heal, to comfort, and to bless!

3 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.

4 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.

5 We read thy power to bless and save,
e'en in the darkness of the grave;
still more in resurrection-light
we read the fulness of thy might.

6 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.

Composer: Virgil C. Taylor, 1847

Includes Wide Format PowerPoint file!

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.

All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
