Hymn 15: O THE Deep, Deep Love of God


1

O THE deep, deep love of Jesus, Vast, unmeasured, boundless,

Rolling as a mighty ocean [free!

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

 the deep, deep love of Jesus, Spread His praise from shore to How He loveth, ever loveth, [shore;

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.
