The love of God is greater far

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 Son to win;
    His erring child He reconciled - And pardoned from his sin.

O love of God, how rich and pure !
How measureless and strong !
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song.

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.

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
