Infinite Love

Author: Sarah A. T. Wittenmyer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16261 Meter: 12.8.12.8 D First Line: There’s a love that is sweet­er than earth's sweetest thing Refrain First Line: Let the web and the woof Lyrics: 1 There’s a love that is sweet­er than earth’s sweet­est thing, A love that is free from al­loy; not the jewels and wealth That the whole world could bring could pur­chase such rap­tur­ous joy. Refrain: Let the web and the woof of this in­fi­nite love Enfold me and wrap me about, till I stand with the saints And the an­gels above, wafe home, ne­ver more to go out. 2 There is peace in this love, peace eter­nal and calm, That soothes all our sor­row and woe; there is health in its touch, Like sweet Gi­le­ad’s balm, that all who will test it may know. [Refrain] 3 There is pow’r in this love pow’r to quick­en the dead, A pow’r that trans­fig­ures the soul; that gives joy for the ash­es Of sor­row and dread, and life while the long ag­es roll. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: AVENTURA

W. G. Fischer

1835 - 1912 Person Name: Wm. G. Fischer Composer of "INFINITE LOVE" in Hymns of Grace and Truth William Gustavus Fischer In his youth, William G. Fischer (b. Baltimore, MD, 1835; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1912) developed an interest in music while attending singing schools. His career included working in the book bindery of J. B. Lippencott Publishing Company, teaching music at Girard College, and co-owning a piano business and music store–all in Philadelphia. Fischer eventually became a popular director of music at revival meetings and choral festivals. In 1876 he conducted a thousand-voice choir at the Dwight L. Moody/Ira D.
