The Love of God (Keeling)

The love of God flows deep and wide

Thro’ Christ who bled for us and died;

Its wid­en­ing stretch we can­not see

It reach­es far be­yond the sea.

Oh love

oh

love

oh

love of God so free;

He proved His love for you and me

Upon dark Cal­va­ry.

Tho’ men have gone in sin so deep

That hell would blush and an­gels weep

Yet

God so loved each guil­ty one

He gave for them His on­ly Son.

The heart that is so hard in sin

That this great love can nev­er win

Is tru­ly fit for noth­ing less

Than end­less hell and wretch­ed­ness.

But tho’ your sins be black and deep

And aw­ful dark­ness ’round you creep

Yet

God so loves your guil­ty soul

He’ll save you from all hell’s con­trol.
