438. O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

1 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 His love,
leading onward, leading homeward
to that glorious rest above.

2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
spread His praise from shore to shore!
He who loves us, ever loves us,
changes never, nevermore;
He, who died to save His loved ones,
intercedes for them above;
He, who called them His own people,
watches over them in love.

3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
love of every love the best,
vast the ocean of His blessing,
sweet the haven of His rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus -
for my heaven of heavens is He;
this my everlasting glory -
Jesus' mighty love for me!
