#61: O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

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.

2

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.

3

O the deep, deep love of Jesus —

Love of ev’ry love the best!

‘Tis an ocean vast of blessing,

‘Tis a haven sweet of rest.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus —

‘Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me;

And it lifts me up to glory,

For it lifts me up to thee.
