[Verse 1]
C G/B Am F C G/B Am Dm7 C
The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
G/B Am F C G/B Am Dm7 F
It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell.
Am F Am G/B
The guilty there, earth in despair, God gave His Son to win;
F Am F Am G/B
His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin.
[Chorus]
F G Am G/B F
O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!
G Am G/B F
it shall forevermore endure this is the saints’ and angels’ song.
G Am G/B F G Am G/B
This is the saints’ and angels’ song
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am F C
Could we with ink the ocean fill
G/B Am Dm7 C
And were the skies of parchment made;
G/B Am F C G/B Am Dm7 F
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade;
Am F Am G/B
To write the love of God above, Would drain the ocean dry;
F Am F
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Am G/B
Though stretched from sky to sky.
