Grander Than Ocean's Story

Grander than ocean's story,

Or songs of forest trees;

Purer than breath of morning,

Or evening's gentle breeze;

Clearer than mountain echoes

Ring out from peaks above,

Rolls on the glorious anthem

Of God's eternal love.

Dearer than any friendship

Our truest comrades show;

Stronger than all the yearning

A mother's heart may know;

Deeper than earth's foundations,

And far above all thought;

Broader than Heav'n's high arches-

The love that Christ has brought.

Richer than all earth's treasures,

The wealth my soul receives;

Brighter than royal jewels,

The crown that Jesus gives;

Wondrous the condescension,

And grace beyond degree!

I would be ever singing

The love of Christ to me.
