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

- F. M. Lehman, “The Love of God,” Favorites No. 2,” (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1946, 1974)
