Thank you for such a beautiful song, Dr. Nelson and for all you do to share the joy of sacred music and the peace of God's love. I listened to this over and over to write out the lyrics:
Oh love, Oh love, Oh
The love of God, Oh love of God
Oh love, Oh love of God
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;
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When all of time has passed away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Oh, 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 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, though stretched from sky to sky
though stretched from sky to sky
though stretched from sky to sky
Could write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky.
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure-
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Oh, love, Oh love,
Oh, love of God.
