“How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.” | Psalm 36:7

Lyrics and Tune by Frederick M. Lehman
Arr. Jody Killingsworth

The love of God is greater far

Than tongue or pen could 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;

The erring child He reconciled,

And pardoned from his sin.
 
When years of 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.
 
Chorus
O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

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.
 
Chorus
O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

The saints’ and angels’ song. (x2)
