lyrics

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 Son to win.
His erring child he reconciled, and pardoned from his sin.

VERSE 2
When hoary time shall pass away and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall.
When stubborn hearts refuse to wake and worship stones and idols call
God's love, so sure, shall still endure all measureless and strong.
Redeeming grace to Adam's race the saints' and angels' song.

CHORUS
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong.
It shall forever more endure.
The saints' and angels' song.

BRIDGE
You call us by name
You know us all, You love us all the same, all the same
You’re here with us, been here all along
You’re singing, you’ve been singing a love song a love song
Your Mercy covers our shame
Your Graciousness greets us without blame without blame

CHORUS
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong.
It shall forever more endure.
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.

BRIDGE

CHORUS
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
How measureless and strong.
It shall forever more endure.
The saints' and angels' song.
