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 eering child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin And oh, the love of our God Oh, how measureless and strong There is no sin, no crime, no wrong That can endure the love of God 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 And oh, the love of our God Oh, how measureless and strong There is no sin, no crime, no wrong That can endure the love of God Oh, love of God, how rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints and angels' song And oh, the love of our God Oh, how measureless and strong There is no sin, no crime, no wrong That can endure the love of God
