O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

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 every 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.
