II. God's Love the lofty Heavens above, In height doth far transcend: Its depth, the Sea; its breadth and length Is without bound or end. ⟨p. 153⟩God's Love to us is wonderful: To us who Rebels were, God gave his only Son to die, That Rebels he might spare.

III. From guilt and reigning power of sin, And Satan's slavery; From fire of Hell us to redeem, God gave his Son to die. Christ suffered in our stead, he was More harmless than the Dove: That God should lay our sins on him; This, this indeed is Love.

IV. O come let us give God our Loves, Let every heart take fire; Let flames come forth and join in one, And unto Heaven aspire. •weet Spirit come, like Southern Gales, Within us breathe and move; Blow up our spark into a flame, That we may burn with love.
