1. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;Rolling as a mighty oceanIn 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,None can tell the reason whyHe descended from His glory,Came to earth to bleed and die;I, a wrecked and ruined creature,Sinful, helpless, all defiled;But the Love of God in Jesus,Made me God’s beloved child.
3. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,Spread His praise from shore to shore,How He loveth, ever loveth,Changeth never, never more;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.
4. 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;Though polluted, sinful, wretched,Yet He calleth me “His own”;He will lift me to the grandeurOf His everlasting Throne.
5. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,Ah! when standing by His side,Midst the blaze of all His glories,With ourselves then glorified;We shall sing with thrilling raptureOf the marvels of His grace,As with deepest adoration,We behold His matchless face.
6. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,’Tis a Heaven of heavens to me,And it lifts me up to glory,For it lifts me up to Thee;Unto Thee, Thou Lord of Glory,To Thy throne and vast domain,To share Thy great inheritance,And for ever with Thee reign.
7. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,’Twould take ages to exploreBut a drop of all this ocean,Or a grain from off its shore;But our hearts are beating highly,If our faith is sometimes dim,For the glory and the raptureWe shall have when we have Him.
8. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,It will soon be satisfied,When the Royal, Kingly BridegroomHath His stately spotless Bride;Yes! with peals of heavenly worship,Bowing low as we adore,We will praise Him, praise Him, praise Him,Through the Ages evermore.
