The Love of God

Author: Frederick M. Lehman Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: God Love and Mercy; God Love and Mercy First Line: The love of God is greater far Refrain First Line: Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! Lyrics: 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 guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled, And pardoned from his sin. Chorus: Oh love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure, The saints’ and angels’ song. 2 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. (Chorus) 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made, Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill And ev'ry man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Tho' stretched from sky to sky. (Chorus) Used With Tune: [The love of God is greater by far]
