The Love of God

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
