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. |

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. |

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. |

An eternal Hymn of God's love to us! So majestic and Great!
St Augustine, Florida, United States
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!
Lilongwe, Malawi
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 :)

God is teaching me to worship the Father AND the Son. This is such a hymn of praise. Your comments are sweet fellowship to me as I am in a new town and have no roots here yet. Blessings!

Enjoy this hymn very much together with Eph. 2:4-5:
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in offenses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).

"Wow". This is one of the most amazing hymns. Very moving. Our words can't describe God's love. It will endure forever. It's my prayer, that everyone may know God's love to its fullness.

O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong!
Solvang, CA, United States
Just heard this on Pandora. It was one of Pastor Chuck Smith s favorites. Can't hear it w/o thinking of and thanking the Father for him. I just had to look up the lyrics to meditate. Very sweet!

This song has been on my mind for a while, and I plan to give scriptures with it on Facebook in my Group "The Truth Connection". We hear so much about so many things, but forget to emphasize it's all about His Love. Thank you for the very thing He has pressed upon my mind through his Ruach Qodesh (Spirit) to post to my many friends that are Followers of Yeshua.
