Verse 1:
D
The love of God is greater far
A D
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
D
It goes beyond the highest star
A D
And reaches to the lowest hell
G D
The guilty pair, bowed down with care
A D
God gave His Son to win
G Bm
His erring child, He reconciled
A D
And pardoned from his sin
Verse 2:
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
Verse 3:
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
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
