Lyrics

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,
rolling as a mighty ocean
in its fulness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
is the current of his love;
leading onward, leading homeward
to that glorious rest above.

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus –
spread his praise from shore to shore!
He who loves us, ever loves us,
changes never, nevermore:
he who died to save his loved ones
intercedes for them above;
he who called them his own people
watches over them in love.

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
love of every love the best;
vast the ocean of his blessing,
sweet the haven of his rest!
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus –
for my Heaven of heavens is he;
this my everlasting glory –
Jesus’ mighty love for me!
