THE LOVE OF GOD
   Words: F.M. Lehman
   Tune: Love of God, F.M. Lehman
 
   C
1  The love of God is greater far
2  When years of time shall pass away,
3  Could we with ink the ocean fill,
                  G            C
1  Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
2  And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
3  And were the skies of parchment made,
   (C)
1  It goes beyond the highest star,
2  When men who here refuse to pray
3  Were every stalk on earth a quill,
               G             C
1  And reaches to the lowest hell;
2  On rocks and hills and mountains call,
3  And every man a scribe by trade,
   C7         F                     C
1  The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
2  God's love so sure, shall still endure,
3  To write the love of God above
                G   G7 C
1  God gave His Son to win;
2  All measureless and strong;
3  Would drain the ocean dry,
   C7         F              C
1  His erring child He recon-ciled
2  Redeeming grace to Adam's race
3  Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
                G        C
1  And pardoned from his sin
2  The saints' and angel's song
3  Though stretched from sky to sky.
 
Refrain:
   C7        F                 C
   O love of God, how rich and pure!
               G        C
   How measure-less and strong!
   C7           F           C
   It shall for evermore en-dure
                   G       C
   The saints' and angel's song
