Hymn of the week

The Love of Christ Is Rich and Free

The love of Christ is rich and free;

Fixed on His own eternally;

Nor earth, nor hell, can it remove;

Long as He lives, His own He’ll love.

His loving heart engaged to be

Their everlasting Surety;

’ Twas love that took their cause in hand,

And love maintains it to the end.

Chorus: Love cannot from its post withdraw;

Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, nor law,

can turn this Surety's heart away

He'll love his own to endless day.

Love has redeemed His sheep with blood;

And love will bring them safe to God;

Love calls them all from death to life;

And love will finish all their strife.

He loves through every changing scene,

Nor aught from Him can Zion wean;

Not all the wanderings of her heart

Can make His love for her depart.
(Repeat chorus)
At death, beyond the grave, He’ll love;

In endless bliss, His own shall prove

The blazing glory of that love

Which never could from them remove.~Indelible Grace


~L. D.
