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

Chorus 1

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 orry time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call

Chorus 2

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 ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on Earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade

Chorus 3

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

Chorus 4

O love of God how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song

Chorus 4

O love of God how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermoreendure
The saints’ and angels’ song
The saints’ and angels’ song
