The Love of God

Original Song in the key of d

This is in c, capo 2

NOTE: It won't place the chords exactly where they should be rhythmically with the 
lyrics, but these are the right chords. Listen to the song and you can pick up the 
transition. I believe it's in 6/8 time.

Intro
F       G      Am  C    F

Verse 1      ( F    G    Am C F )
F                                            G
The love of God is greater far
                        Am           C            F
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
(F)                                       G
It goes beyond the highest star
                        Am            C
And reaches to the lowest hell
F                                                         G
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,          
                            Am  C
God gave His only Son to win
F                                       G
His erring child He reconciled
                              Am         C
You and I pardoned from our sin.


Chorus 1  (G  Am  C  F  E/G  F  G  Am)
G                                            Am
Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
C                               F
It shall forevermore endure
E/G                                     F
How measureless and strong!
                                                        G
The saints' and angels' song we sing    
            Am
Holy, holy


Verse 2
F                                              G
When ancient time shall pass away,
                     Am             C
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
F                                              G
When men here refuse to pray,
                                        Am               C
And rocks and hills and mountains call

F                                                       G
God's love, so sure, shall still endure  
                Am              C
All measureless and strong
F                                                G
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
                                Am      C
Shall be the saints' and angels' song  


Verse 3
F                                              G
Could we with ink the ocean fill
                                   Am           C
And were the skies of parchment made   
F                                               G
Were every stalk on earth a quill
                           Am           C
And every man a scribe by trade

F                                             G
To write the love of God above
                        Am            C
Would drain the ocean dry
F                                                      G
Nor could the scroll contain the whole 
                                   Am       C
Though stretched from sky to sky

Chorus 2
G                                            Am
Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
C                               F
It shall forevermore endure
E/G                                     F
How measureless and strong!
                                                         G
The saints' and angels' song we sing    
            Am (F when repeated)
Holy, holy


Chorus 3
E/G                                     F

The saints' and angels' song we sing    
            Am (F when repeated)
Holy, holy
E/G                                     F
How measureless and strong!
                                                       G
The saints' and angels' song we sing    
            Am (F when repeated)
Holy, holy
