The love of God is greater

• • 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. 
  • 
    
  • Oh, love of God, how rich and pure! 
  • How measureless and strong! 
  • It shall for evermore endure, 
  • the saints’ and angels’ song. 
  • 
    
  • 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. 
  • 
    
  • 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
