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