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.
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.
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

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.
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.

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.
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 grew up in Pasadena and went to the same church that "Brother" Lehman attended. (Assembly of God) His daughter was one of my Sunday School teachers. This was in the '30 so Fred was well up in years but he and his wife sang this song as a duet and I shall never forget it. They put so much feeling into it.

When using this song for mediation and prayer, it was inspiring to see so many others had been touched by Christ's love. For over 2000 years the Holy Spirit has testified of God's love and it's marvelous in it's grace and power. To Him be all the glory!

Am so touched with this song, it's an inspiration to me and I bless the Lord for His love.
His love is measureless, it's so pure and he never dispise His children.
I feel like crying to express how He has been showing His love to me.
Indeed there's no one like Jesus Christ.
I woke up several times last night with this tune "the love of God is rich and pure measureless and strong". Had to look up the song as soon as I woke up. Thank you for providing the rest of the words. God's love shall endure! Don't forget...what a friend you have in Jesus in you new location :)
