O the Deep Deep Love of Jesus! (Live)

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 thy glorious rest above.

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.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus! Love of ev’ry 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.
