S. T. Francis
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,
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.
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.
