Stupendous Love

 

 

Stupendous love it mystifies,

Love before whom the sinner dies,

Love that reaches the soul’s deep need.

Mysterious Love for You I plead.

 

Stupendous love, wrongs rectify,

And deepest longings satisfy,

Love powerful in might and reach,

Effectual to save sinners, each.

 

Stupendous Love still justifies,

As each to His leading complies,

O Love that captures and makes new,

Ineffaceable, through and through.

 

Stupendous Love it glorifies,

For Love the sinner’s food supplies,

In times of famine or of drought,

Love’s bounteous table ne’er runs out.

 

Stupendous Love how can I deign,

To think that in me You will reign?

Transcending Love, renders me dead,

That I may live Your life instead.

 

Stupendous Love, ineffable,

Love that came in dress all humble,

Unspeakable, unending grace,

Love diffused to our human race.

Amen!
