Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!

All its joys are but a name!

Pledge of endless life above!

In His cross my trust shall be;
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see.
Chorus
Oh, the heights and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breath of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!
