"To Know the Love of Christ"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

We sang this hymn yesterday at Grace Baptist Church of Ruston. I highly recommend Joseph Iron's hymnal. It is great for reading like a devotional or singing using the meters for the melody (there are melodies of more familiar hymns that go with the various meters).

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

"To Know the Love of Christ"

1. Blest souls, who know the boundless love,
Which mov'd the Saviour's heart,
To undertake their cause above,
And endless life impart.

2. Its length and breadth, its depth and height,
Surpass all human thought;
Its sov'reign acts, its conquering might,
Are by His Spirit taught.

3. Go forth, my soul, go forth to know
Thy dear Redeemer's love;
In cov'nant bonds - His work below,
And acts of grace above.

4. O, 'tis eternal, matchless, free,
Immutable and strong:
I know it, for it conquer'd me,
And is become my song!!
