Intro

Verse 1

)

The love of God is greater far

Than 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 only Son to win

His erring child He reconciled

You and I pardoned from our sin.

Chorus 1

)

Oh love of God, how rich and pure!

It shall forevermore endure

How measureless and strong!

The saints' and angels' song we sing

Holy, holy

Verse 2

When ancient time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall

When men here refuse to pray,

And rocks and hills and mountains call

God's love, so sure, shall still endure

All measureless and strong

Redeeming grace to Adam's race

Shall be 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

Chorus 2

Oh love of God, how rich and pure!

It shall forevermore endure

How measureless and strong!

The saints' and angels' song we sing

( when repeated)

Holy, holy

Chorus 3

How measureless and strong!

The saints' and angels' song we sing

( when repeated)

Holy, holy

How measureless and strong!

The saints' and angels' song we sing

( when repeated)

Holy, holy
