O The deep, deep love of Jesus!
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me:
Underneath me, all around me,
Is the current of Thy love,
Leading onward, leading homeward,
To my glorious rest above.
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness 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,
Watcheth o’er them from the throne.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
Love of every love the best:
‘Tis an ocean vast of blessing,
‘Tis a haven sweet of rest:
O such love! the love of Jesus;
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory,
For it lifts me up to Thee.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
‘Twould take ages to explore
But a drop of all this ocean
Or a grain from off its shore:
Yet our hearts are beating highly,
If our faith is sometimes dim,
For the glory and the rapture
We shall have when we have Him.
