Ascend The Hill The Love Of God Lyrics

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 only Son to win
His erring child He reconciled:
You and I pardoned from our sin

Oh love of God, how rich and pure!
It shall forevermore endure
How measureless and strong!
The saints' and angels' song we sing
Holy, holy

When ancient time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men here refuse to pray
And rocks and hills and mountains call
God's love, so sure, shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
Shall be the saints' and angels' song

Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth 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 contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky

How measureless and strong!
The saints' and angels' song we sing
Holy, holy
How measureless and strong!
The saints' and angels' song we sing
Holy, holy
