Today is the anniversary of the birth of Frederich Lehman in 1868, the author of all but that final verse--which is centuries old. I'm sure you've heard of the parallel between Ephesians 3:18 and John 3:16. "God so loved the world" (the breadth of His love); "that He gave His only begotten Son" (the length to which He went to save us); "that whoever believes in Him" (whoever, even the vilest saint--that is love's depth); "should not perish but have everlasting life" (the height to which His love lifts us). God bless.
