(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.
