The Love of God

<p>The love of God is greater far<br/>Than tongue or pen can ever tell;<br/>It goes beyond the highest star,<br/>And reaches to the lowest hell;<br/>The guilty pair, bowed down with care,<br/>God gave His Son to win;<br/>His erring child He reconciled,<br/>And pardoned from his sin.</p><p>Refrain<br/>O love of God, how rich and pure!<br/>How measureless and strong!<br/>It shall forevermore endure<br/>The saints&#39; and angels&#39; song.</p><p>When years of time shall pass away,<br/>And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,<br/>When men, who here refuse to pray,<br/>On rocks and hills and mountains call,<br/>God&#39;s love so sure, shall still endure,<br/>All measureless and strong;<br/>Redeeming grace to Adam&#39;s race-<br/>The saints&#39; and angels&#39; song.</p><p>Refrain</p><p>Could we with ink the ocean fill,<br/>And were the skies of parchment made,<br/>Were every stalk on earth a quill,<br/>And every man a scribe by trade,<br/>To write the love of God above,<br/>Would drain the ocean dry.<br/>Nor could the scroll contain the whole,<br/>Though stretched from sky to sky.</p><p>Refrain</p>
