The Father’s love is far too great To be to heaven confined. The love He gave a worthy Son Extends to humankind.
No man deserves a share in that Which God bestows in grace, And pours with all the wealth He owns On our rebellious race.
My God, could any yearning soul Be turned away by Thee? And could thy overflow of love Be not enough for me?
Is there a man so tightly bound Thy love cannot prevail? A man for whom thy power to save Extends to no avail?
Could some peculiar turn of mind, Some idiosyncrasy, Create in this poor, struggling soul Too hard a case for Thee?
Thy wisdom and Thy power flow In concert with Thy grace, And nothing is too hard for Thee— Nor I, too hard a case.
No, not a thirsty soul is found Outside Thy loving sphere, Nor can outside Thy power to save A contrite heart appear.
No one so strangely, tightly bound That grace does not apply, No one to whom Thy love won’t flow In bounteous supply.
Thy love so freely poured on all Does not on man depend. It flows from Thy own loving heart, And cannot find an end.
