 Been singing this ALL YEAR!!!



When I came to SI a few months ago, I was already singing this hymn most days, the words coming back to me from when I learned it years ago. It's by a Wesley (not sure which) and naturally uses KJV language.

Isaiah 63:15b
[b]where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?[/b]

I wanted to share it will you all, as I'm [i]feeling[/i] much more as if I've been plucked from hell, than ever - although I'm still singing it (to a tune called 'Jerusalem' by S Grosvenor).



[i]Common Metre[/i]

INFINITE, unexhausted Love!
Jesus and love are one!
If still to me thy bowels move,
They are restrained to none.

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,
[b]Wide as infinity;
So wide, it never passed by one,
Or it had passed by me.

My trespass was grown up to heaven;
But far above the skies,
In Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.

The depth of all-redeeming love
What angel-tongue can tell?
O may I to the utmost prove
The gift unspeakable!

[u]Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence[/u]; (AMEN! and amen!)
Deeper than inbred sin[/b],
Jesus's 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!

Assert thy claim, maintain thy right,
Come quickly from above;
And sink me to perfection's height,
The depth of humble love.
