The Immensity of His Grace

Charles Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5

Verse 1

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?

Verse 2

Thy sovereign grace to all extends, immense and unconfined; from age to age it never ends, it reaches all mankind.

Verse 3

Throughout the world its breadth is known, wide as infinity; so wide it never passed by one, or it had passed by me.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take possession of your own; my longing heart vouchsafe to make thy everlasting throne.
