12. The Gifts of God

1 His gifts are greater than my dreams,
The gifts of God to me;
As countless as the sunset's golden beams,
As boundless as the sea.

Chorus:
His gifts are greater than my dreams,
(His gifts are greater, they are greater than my dreams.)
The gifts of Him who set me free;
And more and more abundant daily seems
The grace of God to me.

2 I ask a part, He give the whole -
Himself, and all beside;
His loving-kindness overflows my soul,
In-rushing as the tide. [Chorus]

3 "His ways are ways of pleasantness,
His paths are paths of peace;"
His hand is ever reaching out to bless;
He bids each sorrow cease. [Chorus]

4 Within my heart He shall have place
To rule and reign supreme;
My voice will ever praise Him for the grace
Of which I ne'er could dream. [Chorus]
