God’s Boundless Love

lyricist: Maltbie Babcock (1858–1901)
Composer: Musikalisches Handbuch, 1690

God’s bound­less love! As arch­ing sky

Above us when we wake and sleep

Above us when we smile and weep

Above us when we live and die.

God’s tire­less love! Be­side the cot

Of her sick child the mo­ther sleeps.

Our heav­en­ly Fa­ther ev­er keeps

Unweary watch—and slum­bers not.

God’s change­less love! The wan­d’ring one

Forsakes

for­gets

dis­hon­ors; yet

Repenting

go­ing home

is met

With no re­proach—Wel­come

My son!

God’s migh­ty love! On Cal­va­ry’s height

Suffering to save us from our sin

To bring God’s wide do­min­ion in

And fill our lives with joy and light.

God’s end­less love! What will it be

When earth­ly sha­dows flee away

For all eter­ni­ty’s bright day

Th’un­fold­ing of that love to see!
