Author: O. J. S. Hymnal: The Majestic Hymnal, number two #140 (1959) First Line: Into the heart of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go Lyrics: 1 Into the heart of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,
Seeking to know the reason why He should love me so,
Why He should stoop to lift me up from the miry clay,
Saving my soul, making me whole, Tho I had wandered away.
2 Into the will of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,
Praying for grace to follow, seeking His way to know,
Bowing in full surrender low at His blessed feet,
Bidding Him take, break me and make, Till I am molded and meet.
3 Into the cross of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,
Following thro' the garden, facing the dreaded foe,
Drinking the cup of sorrow, sobbing with broken heart,
"O Savior, help! dear Savior, help! Grace for my weakness impart."
4 Into the joy of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go,
Rising with soul enraptured far from the world below;
Joy in the place of sorrow, peace in the midst of pain,
Jesus will give, Jesus will give; He will uphold and sustain. Topics: Consecration; Christ Christ--Sufferings; Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: [Into the heart of Jesus, deeper and deeper I go]
