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 Thy love;
leading onward, leading homeward,
to Thy glorious rest above.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
Spread His praise from shore to shore,
how He loveth, ever loveth,
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.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
love of every love the best.
’tis an ocean full 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.
This is pretty close to the original.
