[Verse]
E
The love of God is greater far
B E
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
B E
And reaches to the lowest hell
A E
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
B E
God gave His Son to win
A E
His erring child He reconciled
B E
And pardoned from his sin
[Chorus]
A E
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure
B E
How measureless and strong
A E
It shall forevermore endure
B E
The saints’ and angels’ song
[Verse]
E
When hoary time shall pass away
B E
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here refuse to pray
B E
On rocks and hills and mountains call
A E
God’s love so sure, shall still endure
B E
All measureless and strong
A E
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
B E
The saints’ and angels’ song
[Chorus]
E
Could we with ink the ocean fill
B E
And were the skies of parchment mdae
Were every stalk on earth a quill
B E
And every man a scribe by trade
A E
To write the love of God above
B E
Would drain the ocean dry
A E
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
B E
Though stretched from sky to sky
