It shall forevermore endure, the saints' and angels' song. 2 When time at last shall pass away, and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When those 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. [Refrain] 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made; were every stalk on earth a quill, and everyone 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. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: THE LOVE OF GOD

To give them Canaan's land, When they were strangers in the place, A small and feeble band! 6 Like pilgrims through the countries round Securely they remov'd: And haughty kings that on them frown'd Severely he reprov'd. 7 "Touch mine anointed, and mine arm "Shall soon avenge the wrong: "The man that does my prophets harm Shall know their God is strong." 8 Then let the world forbear its rage, Nor put the church in fear; Israel must live through every age, And be th' Almighty's care.
