What else outlasts the withering of time
Your word alone endures
Transcending the ends of this fallen world
Yet entering so life can be mine

What sweeter goodness could I hope to know  
than your justice, pure and fair
Infallible judgment, governed by love
The comfort of peace in sorrow

What mercy eclipses the burden you lift
From a wayward sinner’s heart
Streams of forgiveness, by grace, full and free
Comes to me as an undeserved gift

What other victory’s more worthy of praise
than that already won
By your blood divine spilled on Calvary’s Hill
Forging hope for now and always

What else surpasses your glorious worth?
No other treasure compares
To the majestic love displayed on the cross
To grant tired souls with new birth

What else can blaze with more radiant splendour
than the glory of your Son?
Breaking the darkness, raised to new life
My soul rings with his love’s surrender
