Lyrics
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
When hoary time shall pass away,
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall.
When men who here refuse to pray,
on rocks and hill and mountain call.
God's love, so sure, shall still endure
all measureless and strong.
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
the saints and angels' song.
Verse 3
Could we with ink the oceans fill,
and were the skies or parchment made.
We're every stalk 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 stretched from sky to sky.
Chorus
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure.
How measureless and strong.
It shall for evermore endure
the saints' and angels' song.
