Lyrics

Verse 1
Oh, 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 His love—
Leading onward, leading homeward To His glorious rest above.
Verse 2
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus— Spread His praise from shore to shore!
Praise His mercy, praise His goodness; Praise His love forevermore.
How He watcheth o’er His loved ones, Died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, Watcheth o’er them from His throne.
Verse 3
Oh, 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.
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus— ’Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, Lifts me up eternally.
