Lyrics

He giv­eth more grace as our bur­dens grow great­er,
He send­eth more strength as our la­bors in­crease;
To add­ed af­flict­ions He add­eth His mer­cy,
To mul­ti­plied tri­als His mul­ti­plied peace.

When we have ex­haust­ed our store of en­dur­ance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoard­ed re­sourc­es
Our Fa­ther’s full giv­ing is on­ly begun.

His love has no lim­its, His grace has no mea­sure,
His pow­er no boun­da­ry known un­to men;
For out of His in­fi­nite rich­es in Je­sus
He giv­eth, and giv­eth, and giv­eth again.
