1 Like the fullness of the ocean,
Wide and deep and strong and free,
Calling forth my soul’s devotion,
Is the love of God to me.
2 Like the sweep of yonder river,
Flowing onward to the sea,
Sweet and clear, refreshing ever,
Is the peace of God to me.
3 Like a spring beneath the mountain,
Rising up, abundant, free,
In my soul a living fountain,
Is the joy of God to me.
4 Like a star in brightest heaven,
Settled, evermore to be,
Guiding souls to that blest haven,
Is the word of God to me.
5 Like a breeze perfumed with flowers,
Which we feel, but cannot see,
Girding truth with mighty powers,
Is the Comforter to me.
