Long as east from west extends

Long as east from west extends,
Broad as space that has no ends,
High as heavens limitless,
Deep as oceans fathomless—
Oh, Christ's great love!
 
Awesome! Vast! Tremendous!
Christ's love to me!
Depth and height and breadth and length
Bountifully to me conveyed
Eternally.
2
Length—He gave His life for me;
Breadth—Salvation now is He;
Height—He raised me to the skies;
Depth—He even reached my life;
Oh, Christ's great love!
3
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!
4
Length and breadth immeas'rable,
Height and depth intangible,
Yet His love these words describe:
Breadth and length and depth and height;
Oh, Christ's great love!
