The Love of God

My Seth loves to study about the ocean, especially what he calls "the deep dark sea". Whenever I look at a picture showing the depths of the ocean, my favorite song in the hymnal "The Love of God", always comes to my mind. This is my favorite verse:

"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."

And have you ever read the footnote about who wrote that third verse? I love this song too.
