O 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 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 heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory,
    For it lifts me up to Thee.
 
Samuel Trevor Francis, 1834-1925
