Oh, fill me, Jesus, Savior, with Thy love! Lead, lead me to the living fount above; Thither may I, in simple faith draw nigh, And never to another fountain fly, But unto Thee.

Lord Jesus, when Thee face to face I see, When on Thy lofty throne I sit with Thee, Then of Thy love, in all its breadth and length, Its height and depth, its everlasting strength, My soul shall sing.
I don't know how best I can comment about this song but, it happens to be my all time best hymn. I love it for it brings back my life and hope in the love Jesus shows us all. Indeed, it is beyond all knowledge.
Mary Shekleton of Dublin, Ireland, was for many years an invalid, during which time she wrote several hymns. Several of these are given in "Chosen, Chastened, Crowned. Memorials of Mary Shekleton, late Secretary of the Invalid's Prayer Union, by her Sister", 1884, and are in common use. -John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
------------------------
Stanza 3, last 2 lines originally said:
Which brought an undone sinner, such as me,
Right home to God.
-------------------
The last stanza, 1st 3 lines is humbler in the original:
7. And when my Jesus face to face I see,
When at His lofty throne I bow the knee,
Then of His love, in all its breadth and length,
--------------------
I think stanza 5, 1st 2 lines is not true. It is an exaggeration to say that Christians brought not even 1 thought of love to the Lord. The whole song contains many thoughts of love that she brought to the Lord. She probably meant before we were saved and didn't have room to fit that thought in the stanza.
Precious hymn, sweet, tender, poetic. This was one of the favorites of a dear sister who has not been meeting. One day we where singing it and as she found the hymn in her old hymn book she saw she had all sorts of hearts and stars around it, she realized she had enjoyed it much when she was a teenager. O Lord, "Yet I may come, and come again to Thee, with this the empty sinner's only plea, Thou lovest me." Lord, bring this sister and her husband back.
We can choose three hymns from our hymnal to illustrate what we mean by the standard of the hymns—#70, #154, and #152. These hymns are concerning our love for the Lord and His love for us. The standard of hymn #70—"Oh, how I love Jesus"—is very low in life, truth, experience, and revelation. Hymn #154—"It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine"—is of a much higher standard. The first verse of this hymn says:
It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine,
My Savior, Jesus; yet this soul of mine
Would of Thy love in all its breadth and length,
Its height and depth, its everlasting strength,
Know more and more.
After introducing the focus in the Lord's table meeting, we may sense that the spirit of the meeting is not strong enough. In this case we need to strengthen it. Hymns, #154, "It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine," may be considered a strengthening hymn concerning the Lord's love. To choose a hymn such as #171, "Lord Jesus Christ, our heart feels sweet/ Whene'er we think on Thee," would not be appropriate, because it turns from the Lord's love to the Lord Himself. It is more suitable to serve as a concluding hymn, which is not for uplifting the spirit but for drawing the meeting to an end.
Not only does a meeting have sections, but a hymn also has its sections. Hymns, #154 may be divided into three sections. Stanzas I through 3 are the first section, stanzas 4 through 6 are the second, and stanza 7 is the third. Another example is hymn #128 in the Chinese hymnal, which can be sung in at least four sections: stanzas 1 through 4 as the introduction, stanzas 5 through 8 as a strengthening section, stanzas 9 through 11 as a section lifting up the spirit, and stanzas 12 and 13 as a concluding section. When the phrases are different, the feeling is also different, just as the Lord addressed the Father in different ways with different significances. In Matthew 11 He addressed God as "Father" because at that time the Lord was rejected by the world (vv. 20-25). Father indicates the intimate relationship between the Lord and the Father. In John 17 He addressed God as "Holy Father" (v. 11) because He was asking the Father to sanctify the church so that it would not belong to the world. In Matthew 27:46 the Lord addressed God as "My God" because on the cross the Lord took the place of sinners (1 Pet. 3:18) and thus could pray not to the Father but only to God.
Some hymns may be in the same category and of the same subject but have a different feeling. Every hymn has its feeling. For example, "It passeth knowledge, that dear love of Thine" (Hymns, #154) is a hymn for remembering the Lord and has the Lord's love as its subject. The feeling of this hymn is fine, sweet, and tender. The feeling of other hymns may not be as fine as this one, even though their subject is the Lord's love. Some hymns have a fine feeling and are also poetic. Other hymns, however, may not be poetic. In learning the hymns, we need to know their categories and subject so that we can further distinguish them according to their feeling.
