o the deep deep love of jesus

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;

Rolling as a mighty ocean

In its fulness over me.

Underneath me, all around me,

Is the current of Thy love;

Leading onward, leading homeward,

To my glorious rest above.




O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Spread His praise from shore to shore,

How He loveth, ever loveth,

Changeth never, nevermore;

How He watches o'er His loved ones,

Died to call them all His own;

How for them He intercedeth,

Watches over them from the throne.




O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

Love of every love the best:

'This an ocean vast of blessing,

'This a haven sweet of rest.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus!

'This a heaven of heavens to me;

And it lifts me up to glory,

For it lifts me up to Thee.
