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, None can tell the reason why He 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 grandeur Of 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 rapture Of 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 explore But 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 rapture We shall have when we have Him.
8. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, It will soon be satisfied, When the Royal, Kingly Bridegroom Hath 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.
