Lyrics

The chords of love bind me above
To One who nev­er chang­es;
Nor time, nor space can e’er ef­face,
His bound­less love for me.

Refrain

Neither height, nor depth,
Nor breadth, shall se­pa­rate me
From the love of Him
Who shed His pre­cious blood;
Neither height, nor depth,
Nor breadth, shall se­pa­rate me
From the love of God.

The price He gave, my soul to save,
Upon the cross of ang­uish;
The shame and woe, O who can know,
How much He cared for me.

Refrain

His love com­plete, with joys re­plete,
Supplies my ev­ery long­ing;
It brings no pain, no loss, but gain,
The love He gives to me.
