It Passeth Knowledge

Verse 1

It passes 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.

Verse 2

It passes telling, that dear love of thine, my Saviour Jesus; yet these lips of mine would fain proclaim to sinners far and near a love which can remove all guilty fear and love beget.

Verse 3

It passes praises, that dear love of thine, my Saviour Jesus; yet this heart of mine would sing a love, so full, so rich, so free, Which brings a rebel sinner, such as me, nigh unto God.

Verse 4

At last, 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.
