O Love of God

1O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints' and angels' song.

RefrainO love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints' and angels' song.

2When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,

3Could 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;
