O glorious divine love

Since long before the world began

In Your heart You longed for a Bride;

’Tis mutual dwelling

Your glorious plan;

With me e’er to abide.

Not knowing Your heart

I sinned and thus should die;

Yet You shed Your blood to set me free.

You gave me Your life

to me drew nigh;

Wondrous love! We two one forever will be.

O glorious divine love! How can I fathom

Higher than the sky

deeper than the sea;

It crushes death’s pow’r and Satan’s kingdom;

Nothing can compare with Your love to me

So fervid and so deep

so gentle and so true;

I’m in love

Lord

with You.

I give You my heart

my life and my soul

Come suffering or joy whatever betide.

By Your boundless grace

I’ll lay down my all

To build up Your church

Your glorious Bride;

Your heart to satisfy

mutual abode we’ll be

In eternity.
