323. Not the grandeur of the mountains

Author: Michael Perry 1942-96

Not the grandeur of the mountains,
nor the splendour of the sea,
can excel the ceaseless wonder
of my Saviour’s love to me:

For his love to me is faithful
and his mercy is divine;
and his truth is everlasting,
and his perfect peace is mine.

2. Not the streams that fill the valleys,
nor the clouds that drift along,
can delight me more than Jesus
or replace my grateful song:

3. Yet these all convey his beauty
and proclaim his power and grace—
for they are among the tokens
of the love upon his face:
