1 Fathomless love! what a wondrous theme,
Love of my Saviour—‘twas love supreme,
Making Him die my soul to redeem;
Wonderful, fathomless love!

Refrain:
Fathomless love!
How can it be?
Reaching and saving a sinner like me;
Fathomless love!
Of God above,
I’ll sing forever!
Of His fathomless love!

2 O what a wonder that He should care,
Stoop from His glory our sins to bear,
Go to the cross and die for us there;
Wonderful, fathomless love! [Refrain]

3 Love all divine and unmerited,
There’s not a sinner beyond its spread,
“Whosoe’er will” the Scripture has said;
Wonderful, fathomless love! [Refrain]
