The Love of God

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star

And reaches to the lowest hell

The guilty pair bowed down with care

God gave His Son to win

His erring child He reconciled

And pardoned from his sin

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

Could we with ink the ocean fill

And were the skies of parchment made

Were every tree on earth a quill

And every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above

Would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole

Though stretched from sky to sky

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song

O love of God, how rich and pure

How measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song
