The Love of God
Frederick Lehman, 1917; v. 3 by Meir Ben Isaac Nehorai, 1050
[Verse 1]
The love of AGod is Dgreater Afar
Than tongue or Epen can ever Atell;
It goes F#mbeyond the Dhighest Astar,
And reaches Eto the lowest Ahell;
The guilty Dpair, bowed down with Acare,
God gave His ESon to Awin;
His erring Dchild He reconcAiled,
And pardoned Efrom his Asin.
[Chorus]
Oh, love of DGod, how rich and Apure!
How measureEless and Astrong!
It shall forDevermore Aendure—
The saints’ and Eangels’ Asong.
[Verse 2]
When years and Atreasures Dpass Aaway,
And earthly Esusthrones and kingdoms Afall,
When men who Emhear reDfuse to Apray,
On rocks and Ehills and mountains Acall,
God’s love so Dsure, shall still Aendure,
All measureEless and Astrong;
Redeeming Dgrace to Adam’s Arace—
The saints’ and Eangels’ Asong.
[Chorus]
Oh, love of DGod, how rich and Apure!
How measureEless and Astrong!
It shall forDevermore Aendure—
The saints’ and Eangels’ Asong.
[Verse 3] (same as previous two verses)
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]
Oh, love of DGod, how rich and Apure!
How measureEless and Astrong!
It shall forDevermore Aendure—
The saints’ and Eangels’ Asong.
