When I came to SI a few months ago, I was already singing this hymn most days, the words coming back to me from when I learned it years ago. It's by a Wesley (not sure which) and naturally uses KJV language.Isaiah 63:15bwhere is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?I wanted to share it will you all, as I'm feeling much more as if I've been plucked from hell, than ever - although I'm still singing it (to a tune called 'Jerusalem' by S Grosvenor).Common MetreINFINITE, unexhausted Love!Jesus and love are one!If still to me thy bowels move,They are restrained to none. What shall I do my God to love?My loving God to praise?The length, and breadth, and height to proveAnd depth of sovereign grace? Thy sovereign grace to all extends,Immense and unconfined;From age to age it never ends;It reaches all mankind. Throughout the world its breadth is known,Wide as infinity;So wide, it never passed by one,Or it had passed by me. My trespass was grown up to heaven;But far above the skies,In Christ abundantly forgiven,I see thy mercies rise. The depth of all-redeeming loveWhat angel-tongue can tell?O may I to the utmost proveThe gift unspeakable! Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence; (AMEN! and amen!)Deeper than inbred sin,Jesus's love my heart shall cleanseWhen Jesus enters in. Come quickly, gracious Lord, and takePossession of thine own;My longing heart vouchsafe to makeThine everlasting throne! Assert thy claim, maintain thy right,Come quickly from above;And sink me to perfection's height,The depth of humble love.
