Homegrown Hymn: Love of Loves

Love of Loves

Love of Loves!
If justice had been but served
This hand of Yours would never bless,
But slay, and well deserved.

Surely no glimpse within my soul
Could have gained this prize for me;
Then could it be that nothing I do
Could sever You from me?

Love of loves!
Forged stronger than iron bands,
Yet light as though to be my wings,
And rock to make me stand--

Surely no power in earth or hell
Can match the strength of Christ;
If the Judge of all has bought in blood,
Who can outmatch the price?

Love of loves!
Though given eternity
The work of ages could never grasp
Your steadfast love for me.

Before my birth and all my life,
Your love has never changed,
And beyond the shadows, when face to face,
Your love will stay the same.

And beyond the shadows, when face to face,
Your love will stay the same.
