English text
O love! What a secret to mortals thou art
'Tis God's deep eternity, nature and heart:
The witnessing dove confirms this high plan,
And likewise His word and His dealings with man;
The sorrows of Jesus, his torment and pain,
Has left no foundation for doubting again.
O love! How mysterious and boundless art thou!
Thy date and thy measure unlimited flow:
This Jesus reveals with evidence strong;
It gladdens my heart, also inspires my song
With praise to my Savior, my Lord and my God,
Whose love is my Glory, as viewed in his blood.
