O Grace of God So Boundless

There was nev­er a prince so roy­al

So wor­thy of death­less fame;

There was nev­er a friend so loy­al

Such an ocean of love in a name!

There were nev­er such springs of sweet­ness

Such streams of in­ef­fa­ble bliss

Such pow­ers of ho­ly meet­ness

As welled in that heart of His.

O grace of God

so bound­less!

O love of Christ

so true!

Has sin your soul so blind­ed

That Je­sus is no­thing to you?

Ever bu­sy His hands with kind­ness

His lips ov­er­flowed with grace

While His feet were im­pelled to mer­cy

Love im­mor­tal il­lum­ined His face.

And yet nev­er a fiend did fa­thom

Such depth of de­ri­sion and shame

And nev­er the vil­est trai­tor

Did bear such a bur­den of blame.

There were nev­er such floods of sor­row

Such grief as the Sav­ior braved

As were brim­ming His cup on Cal­va­ry

When He drained it that we might be saved.

O

was ev­er a heart so hard­ened

And can such in­gra­ti­tude be

That one for whom Je­sus suf­fered

Will say

It is no­thing to me?
