O Boundless, boundless Love!
our Father did commend,
Which in himself was found alone
did not on us depend.

O Independent Love!
Oh rich electing Grace!
Which was hid in our Fathers Heart,
seen in our Jesus Face.

Oh Love unchangable!
Oh Grace to such as we!
Which no respect to persons had,
tho' we polluted be.

What kind of Love is this
which through our Jesus flows!
Thus boundless Love God from above
to us vile Rebels shows.

O Love! Eternal Love!
who can thy Bands unty?
The sacred Dove says we are lov'd
to all Eternity.

We shall rest in this Love
Where're we come or go:
His Mercies sure, do yet endure;
let the redeem'd say so

Alluring Love indeed!
when we are brought so nigh
To thrust our hands in Jesus wounds
our Fathers love to spy.

Oh Soul amazing Love!
who melts our Hearts indeed:
Oh! Our beloved we are sick
thy Love does so exceed.

Oh melting Love indeed!
Oh bleeding Love! Oh Grace!
Love's broken through our Jesus sides:
each drop of Blood cries Peace.

Where is that stony Heart
that will forbear to break;
If hardned we should silent be
sure Rocks would melt, and speak.

We love to hear of Love,
because he's loving bin,
And this did dearly manifest
in blotting out our Sin.

Oh Love! Alluring Love
Oh melting Love indeed!
Oh Love! returning Love! we'l come
we'l follow thee with speed.
