O the deep, deep love of Je-sus,
Vast, un-mea-sured bound-less, free!
Roll-ing as a might-y o-cean
In its full-ness o-ver me!
Un-der-neath me, all a-round me,
Is the cur-rent of Thy love--
Lead-ing on-ward, lead-ing home-ward,
To Thy glo-rious rest a-bove!
O the deep, deep love of Je-sus--
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He lov-eth, ev-er lov-eth,
Chang-eth nev-er, nev-er-more!
How He watch-es o'er His loved ones,
Died to call them all His own;
How for them He in-ter-ced-eth,
Watch-eth o'er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Je-sus,
Love of ev-ery love the best!
'Tis an o-cean full of bless-ing,
'Tis a ha-ven giv-ing rest!
O the deep, deep love of Je-sus--
'Tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glo-ry,
For it lifts me up to Thee!
