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
