Suggested by a sermon on Ephesians 3:18 by Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones and by Psalm 139 for the last verse

Tunes: Woodlands or Toulon

Broad as the universe his love is broad

And wide, worldwide the mercy he has wrought;

From every race the trophies of his grace

To kiss the son have run to his embrace.

Long as the universe his love is long;

He brought the stars to birth to angel song,

And when at last the stars grow dim and die

Redeeming love will be the angels' cry.

High as the mountain peaks his love is high,

We raise our eyes still higher to the sky

And meets our gaze his Everest of grace

And peaks of love too high for eye to trace.

Deep as the deepest thought his love is deep,

And deeper still than all philosophy:

The finest minds of time shall sing in praise

And tell the depth of his redeeming ways.

If we could take the wings of early dawn,

If we could trace the windings of the sea

Could we escape the universe of grace

Of God in Jesus? That could never be!
