deeper deeper in the love

Deeper, deeper in the love of Jesus

daily let me go;

higher, higher in the school of wisdom,

more of grace to know.




O deeper yet I pray,

and higher every day,

and wiser, blessed Lord,

in Thy precious, holy word.




Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit,

take me deeper still,

till my life is wholly lost in Jesus

and His perfect will.




Deeper, deeper! though it cost hard trials,

deeper let me go!

Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,

let me fruitful grow.




Deeper, higher every day in Jesus,

till all conflict past,

finds me conqueror, and in His own image

perfected at last.
