Author: Samuel Trevor Francis (1834-1925) Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fulness over me!
Underneath me, all around me,
Is the current of thy love;
Leading onward, leading homeward,
To my glorious rest above.
2 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread his praise from shore to shore;
How he loveth, ever loveth,
Changeth never, nevermore;
How he watcheth o’er his loved ones,
Died to call them all his own;
How for them he intercedeth,
Watcheth o’er them from the throne.
3 O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Love of every love the best;
‘Tis an ocean vast 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.
