{title:The Love of God(BR290)(CS188)}
{Key: C}
{ipodid}
[C]The love of God is greater far than tongue or [G]pen can ever [C]tell;
It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches [G7]to the lowest [C]hell;
The guilty [F]pair, bowed down with [C]care, God gave His [G]Son [G7]to [C]win;
{Key: C}
His erring [F]child He recon- [C]ciled, and pardoned [G7]from his [C]sin.
[C]O love of [F]God, how rich and [C]pure! How measure- [G]less and [C]strong!
It shall for- [F]evermore en- [C]dure the saints’ and [G7]angels’ [C]song.
{comment:Verse 2}
[C]When years of time shall pass away, and earthly [G]thrones and kingdoms [C]fall,
When men, who here, refuse to pray, on rocks and [G7]hills and mountains [C]call,
God’s love so [F]sure, shall still [C]endure, all measure- [G]less [G7]and [C]strong;
Redeeming [F]grace to Adam’s [C]race the saints’ and [G7]angels’ [C]song.
[C]O love of [F]God, how rich and [C]pure! How measure- [G]less and [C]strong!

It shall for- [F]evermore en- [C]dure the saints’ and [G7]angels’ [C]song.
{comment:Verse 3}
[C]Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the [G]skies of parchment [C]made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every [G7]man a scribe by [C]trade,
To write the [F]love of God [C]above, would drain the [G]o- [G7]cean [C]dry.
Nor could the [F]scroll contain the [C]whole, though stretched from [G7]sky to [C]sky.
[C]O love of [F]God, how rich and [C]pure! How measure- [G]less and [C]strong!
It shall for- [F]evermore en- [C]dure the saints’ and [G7]angels’ [C]song.
