<title>The Love of God</title>
<lyrics>[V1]
 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.

[C1]
   Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
   How measureless and strong!
   It shall forevermore endure,
   The saints' and angels' song.

[V2]
 When hoary time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
 When men who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hills and mountains call;
 God's love, so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong;
 Redeeming grace to Adam's race\The saints' and angels' song.

[V3]
 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.</lyrics>
