It passeth knowledge

• • It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine, 
  • my Saviour, Jesus! yet this soul of mine 
  • would of Thy love, in all its breadth and length, 
  • its height and depth, and everlasting strength, 
  • know more and more. 
  • 
    
  • It passeth telling, that dear love of Thine, 
  • my Saviour, Jesus! yet this heart of mine 
  • would fain proclaim, to sinners, far and near, 
  • a love which can remove all guilty fear, 
  • and love beget. 
  • 
    
  • It passeth praises, that dear love of Thine, 
  • my Saviour, Jesus! yet this heart of mine 
  • would sing that love, so full, so rich, so free, 
  • which brings a rebel sinner, such as me, 
  • nigh unto God. 
  • 
    
  • O fill me, Saviour, Jesus, with Thy love; 
  • lead, lead me to the living fount above; 
  • thither may I, in simple faith, draw nigh, 
  • and never to another fountain fly, 
  • but unto Thee. 
  • 
    
  • And then, when Jesus face to face I see, 
  • when at His lofty throne I bow the knee, 
  • then of His love, in all its breadth and length, 
  • its height and depth, its everlasting strength, 
  • my soul shall sing.
