  • There are some hymns which I consider anchors of the Christian faith. Amazing Grace, It Is Well, etc. The Love of God is also one of these. Written by Frederick M. Lehman in 1917.
    "The first two stanzas are Lehman's own work. The third, by his own account, he heard in a camp meeting sermon. They were apparently lines "found written by a demented man on the wall of his narrow room in the asylum where he died"; those words are a translation of an Aramaic poem, "Haddamut", written ca. 1050 by Rabbi Meir of Worms, Germany. From the Qur'an (31st Sura) from the early 7th century there are these lines:
    If all the trees on earth were pens,
    and the ocean were ink,
    replenished by seven more oceans,
    the writing of God's wonderful signs and creations
    would not be exhausted;
    surely God is All-Mighty, All-Wise."
