​
Introx2/Interludes: C F C G C
C F C
The love of God is greater far
G C
Than tongue or pen can ever tell,
C F C
It goes beyond the highest star,
G C
And reaches to the lowest hell;
F C
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
G C
God gave His Son to win;
F C
His erring child He reconciled,
G C
And pardoned from his sin.
C F C
When mortal time shall pass away,
G C
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
C F C
When men who here refuse to pray,
G C
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
F C
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,
G C
All measureless and strong;
F C
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
G C
The saints’ and angels’ song.
​
Chorus
F C
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
G C
How measureless and strong
F C
It shall forevermore endure,
G C
The saints’ and angels’ song.
​
C F C
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
G C
And were the skies of parchment made,
C F C
Were every stalk on earth a quill
G C
And every man a scribe by trade;
F C
To write the love of God above
G C
Would drain the ocean dry;
F C
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
G C
Tho' stretched from sky to sky.
Chorus
