1. O Love divine, Thou vast abyss!
My sins are swallow’d up in Thee;
Cover’d is my unrighteousness;
From condemnation I am free.
While Jesu’s blood through earth and skies,
“Mercy! free, boundless mercy 1 ” cries.
2. Fix’d on this ground must I remain,
Though my heart fail and flesh decay;
This anchor shall my soul sustain,
When earth’s foundations melt away:
Mercy’s full pow’r I then shall prove,
Lov’d with an everlasting love.
