The Love of God

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 forever more endure

The saints' and angles' song!

When years of time shall pass away

Amd earthly thrones and kingdoms fall

When men who here refuse to pray,

On rocks and hills and mountains call,

God's love so sure shalls till endure

All measureless and strong;

Redeeming grace to Adam's race

The saints' and angles' song.

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forever more endure

The saints' and angles' song!

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,

Tho' stretched from sky to sky.

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forever more endure

The saints' and angles' song!

1 John 4:9-10

 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
   Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
