Song: “The Love of God” Hymn by Frederick M. Lehman, 1917
Arrangement by Ascend the Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OH0x...

INTRO: | F | | G | | Am C | (2x)

VERSE 1:
| F | | G | | Am C |
The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell.
| F | | G | | Am C |
It goes beyond the highest star and reaches to the lowest hell.
| F | | G | | Am C |
The guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win;
| F | | G | | Am C |
His erring child He reconciled; you and I pardoned from our sin.

CHORUS 1:
| G | | Am | | C | | F | | Em | | F | | G | | Am | / /
O love of God, how rich and pure; it shall forevermore endure.
How measureless and strong! The saints and angel’s song we sing, “Holy! Holy!”

VERSE 2:
| F | | G | | Am C |
When ancient times shall pass away and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall.
| F | | G | | Am C |
When men here refuse to pray and all the rocks and hills and mountains call.
| F | | G | | Am C |
God’s love, so sure, will still endure; all measureless and strong.
| F | | G | | Am C |
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race shall be the saints and angel’s song.

TURN: | F | | G | | Am C |

VERSE 3:
| F | | G | | Am C |
Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made.
| F | | G | | Am C |
Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade.
| F | | G | | Am C |
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry.
| F | | G | | Am C |
Nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky.

CHORUS 2:
| G | | Am | | C | | F | | Em | | F | | G | | F |
O love of God, how rich and pure; it shall forevermore endure.
How measureless and strong! The saints and angel’s song,
We sing, “Holy! Holy!”

TAG:
| Em | | F | | G | | Am | |
How measureless and strong! The saints and angel’s song we sing, “Holy! Holy!”
