Author: Mary Shekleton, 1827-83 Hymnal: Together in Song #230 (1999) Meter: 10.10.10.10.4 Lyrics: 1 It passes knowledge, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet this soul of mine
would of thy love, in all its breadth and length,
its height and depth and everlasting strength,
know more and more.
2 It passes telling, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet these lips of mine
would fain proclaim to sinners far and near
a love which can remove all guilty fear
and love beget.
3 It passes praises, that dear love of thine,
my Saviour Jesus; yet this heart of mine
would sing a love, so full, so rich, so free,
Which brings a rebel sinner, such as me,
nigh unto God.
4 At last, when Jesus face to face I see,
when at his lofty throne I bow the knee,
then of his love, in all its breadth and length,
its height and depth, its everlasting strength,
my soul shall sing. Topics: Consummation in Christ; Fear; God's Love to Us; Grace; Heaven; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Majesty of God; Personal Response to Jesus; Proclamation: Witness; Saints Days and Holy Days St Paul; Sin Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-17 Languages: English Tune Title: IT PASSES KNOWLEDGE
