For You as Well as Me

Author: J. H. Sammis Hymnal: The Voice of Thanksgiving #82 (1913) First Line: Great things the Lord has done for me Refrain First Line: Yes, deeper, wider than the sea Lyrics: 1 Great things the Lord has done for me, For His redeeming love Is deeper than the deepest sea, And wide as heav’n above. Refrain: Yes, deeper, wider than the sea, The fountain of His love must be; A fountain flowing full and free, It flows for you as well as me. 2 He left His throne, His life He gave, He suffered all my pains; For me arising from the grave He lives, and ever reigns. [Refrain] 3 My heavy load He bore away; He heard my humble prayer; He turned my darkness into day, And saved me from despair. [Refrain] 4 He sent the Holy One to be My Comforter and Guest, To show the things of Christ to me, And lead me into rest. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Great things the Lord has done for me]
