Longer stretched than East from West, Broader than the vast expanse, Higher than the heavenlies, Deeper than the deepest seas, Oh, Christ’s great love! |
| Awesome! Vast! Tremendous! Christ’s love’s so great! Depth and height and breadth and length, Boundless, rich, to me conveyed From age to age! |

Length — that caused my Lord to die, Breadth — salvation to apply, Height — He raised me to the skies, Depth — He comes to be my life, Oh, Christ’s great love! |

Length — that I forgiveness gain, Breadth — His grace I now obtain, Height — I share His heav’nly throne, Depth — in me He makes His home, Oh, Christ’s great love! |

Length and breadth immeas’urable, Height and depth unspeakable, Yet ’tis by these words described: “Breadth” and “Length” and “Depth” and “Height”— Oh, Christ’s great love! |
