1. 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 He multiplies peace.
Chorus:
His love has no limit;
His grace has no measure.
His pow'r has no boundary
known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches
In Jesus, He giveth,
And giveth, and giveth again!
2. 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.

Hymns for the Family of God
<idle musing>
Not at all a popular hymn, only occurring in about 30 hymnals. Take a minute to read the biography. She wasn't just reciting empty platitudes. This hymn came out her own experiences, which makes it much richer. Hymnary.org adds a third verse and turns the refrain into the fourth verse:
3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,</idle musing>
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
