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

Chorus 1

The guilty pair bowed down with care
God gave His Son to win
His erring Child He reconciled
And pardoned from His sin

Verse 2

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

Chorus 2

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 3

O love of God how rich and pure
How measureless and strong
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song
