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
The guilt we share
The shame we bear
God gave His Son to cleanse
Each erring child He reconciles
And pardons all our sins

Verse 2

When I betray the Savior’s pain
When trials tempt and footsteps stray
The Spirit speaks in Scriptures plain
The Love of God ne’er turns away
More sure than morn
More might than storm
The heart of Calvary
Redeeming grace for humblest faith
Revealing Christ for me

Chorus

O love of God how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
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
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

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

Bridge 1

No wealth or might
Yet joy-filled sighs
My Savior wept

Bridge 2

To dry my eyes
Shout for joy
Sing with your might
Our Savior rose

Bridge 3

Up from hell’s night
Lies have no speech
Fear has no right
For all hell’s hate
Can’t quench Love’s light

Chorus

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