How wide the love of Christ!
It knows not class or race
But holds our one humanity
Within its broad embrace.
How long the love of Christ!
Its patience will not cease
Until this broken world is bound
In everlasting peace.
How high the love of Christ!
Beyond all thought it soars,
And yet upon our passing lives
Unmeasured mercy pours.
How deep the love of Christ,
Descending to a cross!
He bears within His wounded hands
All human pain and loss.
How Wide the Love of Christ, LSB, 535:1-4 |
