"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkiness have I drawn thee" (Jeremiah 31:3). "When Jesus knew that His hour was come that He should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end" (John 13:1).
The Lord of ancient days appeared
To tell of unseen things above,
Unveiling thus His heart endeared
To us with everlasting love.
Such love then made Him leave His throne;
His pity caused Him to descend.
Having loved us as His own,
He loved us to the very end.
Who can search the endless span
Of love unlimited by time?
Why, O Lord, is mortal man
The object of Your love sublime?
Lord, we stand in awe of You,
Yet only slightly comprehend
The love unlimited and true
Displayed in Christ, our dearest Friend.
