Hymn
Absolutely love this hymn S. Trevor Francis, 1875, especially when set Ebenezer:
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus!
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.
The knowledge of Him
Love this quote by Leon Morris:

"The knowledge of Christ is always a personal discovery,
not the passing on of a report learnt from other people."
