Oceans Lyrics 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.
