[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 1]
Can any child on earth below
Choose whence he comes, or where to go?
Can he decide his house and name?
His kin, his lot, his birth, his frame?
We did not come by will of our own,
The Father sent us from His throne;
He sends us here to live our days,
Then calls us back through holy ways.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 2]
What father casts his child aside,
Though grief and sorrow may betide?
If one be weak, or marred in face,
Will love not still that child embrace?
So we belong to God above,
Kept by His covenant of love;
Yet this His principle shall be:
His Kingdom walks in purity.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 3]
Holiness is the Father's law,
Before His throne with reverent awe;
He will not lose His children, dear,
Yet no dark spirit enters there.
No trace of evil shall remain
Within His bright eternal reign;
Therefore, He calls His saints to be
A people marked by purity.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 4]
Who shall divide us from Christ's love?
What trial beneath, what height above?
Shall sword or famine, death or pain,
Or present things, or things to reign?
No pow'r of hell, no depth, no height,
Can quench that everlasting light;
For God in Christ has made it known:
His love shall claim us for His own.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 5]
While yet in sin and far away,
Christ died for us in love's display;
The Father gave His only Son
That lost mankind might not be gone.
For God so loved this fallen race,
He brought us near by sovereign grace;
Through blood once shed on Calvary's tree,
He opened Heaven's gate for me.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Verse 6]
Shall such great love make sin seem small,
Or grant us leave in lust to fall?
Not so, for Christ the Holy One
Obeyed the Father to the end.
Though undeserved the death He bore,
He chose the cross, our peace to secure;
By His obedience, we are led
To walk where truth and light are spread.
[Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
[Final Chorus]
O love of God, so deep, so wide,
No pow'r can make us from Thee hide;
Yet holy, holy is Thy way,
Lord, keep us true from day to day.
