Text: | I Do not Know |
Author: | E. E. Rexford |
Tune: | [I do not understand God’s love] |
Composer: | Chas. H. Gabriel |
1 I do not understand God’s love
For one so sinful, but I know,
O this I know and daily, hourly prove,—
It touched my heart and made it clean like snow.
Refrain:
For broader than the mind of man,
And deeper than the deepest sea,
Yea, higher than the heav’n above,
Is God’s unmeasured love for me.
2 It is too deep a mystery!
I wonder at it more and more;
But this I know, because of love for me,
My many sins this Friend of sinners bore. [Refrain]
3 O love so tender and so sweet,
Thy gift I cannot comprehend;
But this I know, from Heav’n’s dear mercy-seat
It saves my soul and keeps me to the end. [Refrain]
