The love of God is greater far

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.
 
O love of God, how rich and pure!
  How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
    The saints’ and angels’ song.
2
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.
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.

I like the simple accompaniment.

This hymn really speaks to my soul and my heart cries everytime I sing it.

is limitless! For You so loved the world!

God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,

All measureless and strong;

The saints’ and angels’ song.

One of my favorites. Singing this often with my most favorite song, No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus. I will never get tired singing, The Love of God...

I’m 86, and this SONG resonates with me more powerfully THAN EVER BEFORE as I reflect on eight DECADES of 2nd chances after so many “close calls” over the years! Mishaps, accidents, betrayals, poor choices, failures, impulsive actions—all have littered my path. Yet The Love of God has lifted me back up each time I’ve stumbled, missed the mark! Truly. The Love of God endures forever!!! AMEN

This song is the best way to express the love of God toward man. Who can share the heat like Jesus?

He first love, so I must love Him back.

O what a lovely father!
