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?

Thy sovereign grace to all extends,

Immense and unconfined;

From age to age it never ends;

It reaches all mankind.

Throughout the world its breadth is known,

Wide as infinity;

So wide it never passed by one,

Or it had passed by me.

The depth of all-redeeming love

What angel tongue can tell?

O may I to the utmost prove

The gift unspeakable.

Deeper than hell it plucked me thence;

Deeper than inbred sin,

Jesus’ love my heart shall cleanse

When Jesus enters in.

Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take

Possession of Thine own;

My longing heart vouchsafe to make

Thine everlasting throne.
