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!
