Verse 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 thy glorious rest above.
Verse 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!
Verse 3
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best! 'Tis
an ocean full of blessing, 'tis a haven giving 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!
