 1 

O the riches of my Savior,

So unsearchable, immense;

All the fulness of the Godhead

I may now experience.

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!

 
 2 

O the riches of my Savior,

All-embracing: life and light,

Wisdom, power, healing, comfort,

Treasures rich of God's delight;

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!

 
 3 

God's redemption, full salvation,

And His resurrection pow'r,

Sanctifying, glorifying,

All transcending every hour!

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!

 
 4 

O the riches of my Savior —

Nothing less than God as all!

All His person and possessions,

Now my spirit doth enthrall.

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!

 
 5 

O the riches of my Savior!

Who can know their breadth and length,

Or their depth and height unmeasured,

Yet they are my joy and strength.

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!

 
 6 

May I know these boundless riches,

Christ experience in full;

And with others may I share them

In their content bountiful.

 

O the riches, O the riches,

Christ my Savior has for me!

How unsearchable their measure,

Yet my full reality!
