Wide as the Ocean

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Jubilate #192 (1917) First Line: I claim for my own a King on a throne Refrain First Line: Wide, wide as the ocean Lyrics: 1 I claim for my own a King on a throne, The Maker of land and of sea; Whose throne is on high, He ever is nigh, To love and care for me. Refrain: Wide, wide as the ocean, High as the heavens above; Deep, deep as the deepest sea, Is my Saviour’s love; I, though so unworthy, Still am a child of His care, For His word teaches me that His love reaches me ev’rywhere. 2 I wander away, from Him I might stray, But ever the sound of His voice Is calling to me where e’er I may be, To make my heart rejoice. [Refrain] 3 The byways are fair but often a snare, Is hidden where pleasures abound; So close to His side I’ll ever abide, For safety there is found. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I claim for my own a King on a throne]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "Wide as the Ocean" in Gospel Gems Number 1 Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
