1 verse:
C
The love of God is greater far
G C
Than tongue or pen can ever tell,
C
It goes beyond the highest star
G C
And reaches to the lowest hell.
F C
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
G C
God gave His Son to win,
F C
His erring child He reconciled
G C
And pardoned from his sin.
2 verse:
When hoary time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race,
The saints’ and angels’ song.
3 verse:
Could we with ink the ocean fill?
And were the skies of parchment made
Were 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
Though stretched from sky to sky!
Tag:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure,
The saints’ and angels’ song!
