Ab Eb
His erring child He reconciled,
Bb Eb
And pardoned from his sin.
Verse 2
Eb Ab Eb
When mortal time shall pass away,
Bb Eb
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall;
Eb Ab Eb
When men who here refuse to pray,
Bb Eb
On rocks and hills and mountains call;
Ab Eb
God’s love, so sure, shall still endure,
Bb Eb
All measureless and strong;
Ab Eb
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race
Bb Eb
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Chorus:
Ab Eb
Oh love of God, how rich and pure
Bb Eb
How measureless and strong
Ab Eb
It shall forevermore endure,
Bb Eb
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Verse 3
Eb Ab Eb
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
Bb Eb
And were the skies of parchment made,
Eb Ab Eb
Were every stalk on earth a quill
Bb Eb
And every man a scribe by trade;
Ab Eb
To write the love of God above
Bb Eb
Would drain the ocean dry;
Ab Eb
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Bb Eb
Tho' stretched from sky to sky.
