"The Love of God" has a history that goes all the way back to 1096 when a Jewish Rabbi wrote a poem.  The words were later found written on a wall--one account says in an insane asylum and another, a prison.

In the early 1900's, at a Nazarene camp meeting, Pastor Frederick Lehman heard the words of the poem quoted.  It stirred him to write the first and second stanzas and chorus.  The third stanza is from the poem written many years before. His daughter assisted him with the music.

The video is an instrumental, so I will write out the words:

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;

The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win:

His erring child He reconciled and pardoned from his sin.

Chorus:

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong!

It shall forevermore endure

The saints' and angels' song.

When years of time shall pass away and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,

When men, who here refuse to pray, on rocks and hills and mountains call,

God's love so sure shall still endure, all measureless and strong:

Redeeming grace to Adam's race--the saints' and angels' song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill and were the skies of parchment made,

Were ev'ry stalk on earth a quill and ev'ry man a scribe by trade,

To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry,

Nor could the scroll contain the whole tho' stretched from sky to sky.
