Author: Fanny Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10322 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Like a vine whose tender branches Lyrics: 1 Like a vine whose tender branches
’Round the oak have learned to cling;
So my heart has found a shelter
In Thy love, O Lord, my king.
Refrain:
Day by day my lips shall offer
Grateful songs of praise to Thee;
For Thy wondrous lovingkindness,
Better far than life to me.
2 As a bird on pinions weary,
Trembling seeks its parent nest,
Came my spirit heavy laden
To its refuge on Thy breast. [Refrain]
3 In Thy precious lovingkindness
Shall my trusting soul abide,
From the arrows of oppression
Guarded safe on every side. [Refrain]
4 Higher than the hills that circle
’Round Thy throne in Heaven above,
Deeper than the mighty ocean
Is Thy vast eternal love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CALON LÂN
Better Far Than Life To Me
