The Love of Christ Is Rich and Free

The love of Christ is rich and free; fixed on His own eternally;
Nor earth, nor hell, can it remove; Long as He lives, His own He'll love.

His loving heart engaged to be their everlasting Surety;
'Twas love that took their cause in hand, and love maintains it to the end.

Love cannot from its post withdraw; nor death, nor hell, nor sin, nor law,
Can turn the Surety's heart away; He'll love His own to endless day.

Love has redeemed His sheep with blood; and love will bring them safe to God;
Love calls them all from death to life; and love will finish all their strife.

He loves through every changing scene, Nor aught from Him can Zion wean;
Not all the wanderings of her heart, can make His love for her depart.

At death, beyond the grave, He'll love; In endless bliss, His own shall prove
The blazing glory of that love which never could from them remove.

Words by Williams Gadsby; Music by Sandra McCracken
