The Love of God
Words & Music by: Frederick M, Lehman
The love of God is greater farThan 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.
And pardoned from his sin.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measure less and strong!
How measure less and strong!
It shall for ever more endure,
The saints' and angels' song.
When years of time shall pass awayAnd 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.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forever more endure,
The saints' and angels' song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,And were the skies of parchment made;
Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill,
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,
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.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure,
The saints' and angels' song.
The saints' and angels' song.

Hi Ashley!
I too, love this hymn! The last one is my personal favorite!
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.
Have a great day, Ashley!
P.S. Is it my turn to email?
