The love of God

 

                    C

The love of God is greater far

                           G                    C

Than tongue or pen can ever tell

 

It goes beyond the highest star

                      G                    C

And reaches to the lowest hell

                  F                                    C

The guilty pair, bowed down with care

                         G         C

God gave His Son to win

      F                            C

His erring child He reconciled

                         G            C

And pardoned from his sin

 

                     F                             C

The love of God, how rich and pure

                      G              C

How measureless and strong

                 F                C

It shall forever more endure

                           G          C

The saint’s and angel’s song

 

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’ stretced from sky to sky
