Author: Flora Kirkland Hymnal: Sunday-School Praises #148 (1900) First Line: O the length and breadth and the depth of God's love! Refrain First Line: As far as the east is from the west Lyrics: 1 O the length and breadth and the depth of God’s love!
How it filleth my soul with delight!
In the land of forgetfulness far, far away,
He hath hidden our sins from his sight.
Refrain:
As far as east is from west,
Far as the east is from the west,
So far, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
2 In the love of His mercy He saith His word,
That our sins are remembered no more;
He hath cast them behind Him and blotted them out,
And completly hath covered them o’er. [Refrain]
3 In the light of the cross upon Calvary’s brow,
“He is faithful and just to forgive.”
He will cleanse from unrighteousness all who repent,
He will help us the Christ-life to live. [Refrain]
4 Will you come to the Father, O grief laden soul,
With your burden of sin so distrest?
For where sin hath abounded His grace doth abound,
will you come unto Him and find rest? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [O the length and breadth and the depth of God's love!]

William J. Kirkpatrick
1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[O the length and breadth and the depth]" in Pentecostal Hymns Nos. 3 and 4 Combined William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia.
