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 bow down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled
And pardoned from His sin
When ancient time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When those who hear refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God's love so sure shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Grace will resound the whole earth round
The saints and angels song
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every star on earth a quill
And every one 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
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints and angels song
The saints and angels song
