127. My Saviour’s Love Is Higher than the Stars

1 I love to tell in song and story
Of Jesus and His grace,
I fain would shed His blessed sunshine
In ev’ry heart and place.

Refrain:
My Saviour’s love is higher than the stars,
‘Tis deeper than the sea;
O the wealth of all the world could never do
What He has done for me.

2 I love to tell of how He found me,
In sorrow, sin and night,
Of how His tender touch of healing
Restored my soul to light. [Refrain]

3 I love to tell that now His favor,
Supplies my ev’ry need,
For in the secret of His presence
Are life and joy indeed. [Refrain]

4 And so my theme in song and story,
Is Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
I only long for all to own Him,
To trust Him to the end. [Refrain]
