Verse 1
The Love of GoCd is greaFter fCar
TAmhan tongue or pDmen cGan ever teCll;
It goFes beyCond the highFest stCar,
AAmnd reaches Dmto thGe lowest heCll
The guilty paFir, bowed down with caCre,
GAmod gave His sDmon tGo wiCn;
His erring chFild DmHe recoGncileCd,
AAmnd pardoned fDmrom hGis siCn
Chorus
Oh, love of GFod, how rich and puCre!
How mDmeasureleGss and strCong!
It shall foreFvermore endCure,
AmThe saints and angGels soCng
When hoary tiCme shall paFss awCay,
AAmnd earthly thrDmones aGnd kingdoms faCll;
When men who heCre refFuse to prCay,
AmOn rocks and hDmill aGnd mountains caCll;
God's love, so suFre, shall stiGll enduCre,
All DmmeasureleGss and strCong;
Redeeming grFace to Adam's raCce,
TAmhe saints andDm angelGs' soCng
Chorus
Oh, love of GFod, how rich and puCre!
How mDmeasureleGss and strCong!
It shall foreFvermore endCure,
AmThe saints and angGels soCng
Could we with iCnk the ocFean fiCll,
AAmnd were the skDmies oGf parchments maCde;
Were every stCalk on earFth a quCill,
And evAery mDman a scrGibe by traCde;
To write the loFve of God abCove
WoAmuld drain theDm oceaGn drCy;
Nor could the scrFoll contain the whCole,
ThAmough stretched froDmm skyG to skCy
