How Often by Amy Carmichael

Published March 9, 2018 |

How often, Lord, our grateful eyes

Have seen what Thou hast done,

How often does Thy love surprise

From dawn to set of sun.

How often has a gracious rain

On Thine inheritance,

When it was weary, wrought again

An inward radiance.

Thou Who upon the heavens dost ride,

What miracle of love

Brings Thee more swiftly to our side

Than even thought can move?

Our love is like a little pool,

Thy love is like the sea,

O beautiful, O wonderful,

How noble Love can be.

(From Edges of His Ways)
