|
<p>The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell;<br>
|
|
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell;<br>
|
|
The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win;<br>
|
|
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from his sin.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">O love of God, how rich and pure!<br>
|
|
How measureless and strong!<br>
|
|
It shall forevermore endure<br>
|
|
The saints’ and angels’ song.</p>
|
|
<p>When years of time shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,<br>
|
|
When men, who here refuse to pray, on rocks and hills and mountains call,<br>
|
|
God’s love so sure, shall still endure, all measureless and strong;<br>
|
|
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—the saints’ and angels’ song.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made,<br>
|
|
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade,<br>
|
|
To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry.<br>
|
|
Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.</p>

|
