The Love of GodWT 83

Frederick M. Lehman

Verse 1The 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 all sin.

ChorusOh, love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!It shall forevermore endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.

Verse 2When years of time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,When those 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}

CLOSING SONG

Verse 3Could we with ink the ocean fill,

And were the skies of parchment made,Were every stalk on earth a quill,And every one 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.

ChorusOh, love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!It shall forevermore endure—The saints’ and angels’ song.
