Boundless Salvation

Author: William Booth Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love Lyrics: 1. O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love, O fullness of mercy, Christ brought from above, The whole world redeeming, so rich and so free, Now flowing for all men, now flowing for all men, Now flowing for all men, come, roll over me! 2. My sins they are many, their stains are so deep, And bitter the tears of remorse that I weep; But useless is weeping; thou great crimson sea, Thy waters can cleanse me, thy waters can cleanse me, Thy waters can cleanse me, come, roll over me! 3. My tempers are fitful, my passions are strong, They bind my poor soul and they force me to wrong; Beneath thy blest billows deliverance I see, O come, mighty ocean, O come, mighty ocean, O come, mighty ocean, and roll over me! 4. Now tossed with temptation, then haunted with fears, My life has been joyless and useless for years; I feel something better most surely would be If once thy pure waters, if once thy pure waters, If once thy pure waters would roll over me. 5. O ocean of mercy, oft longing I’ve stood On the brink of thy wonderful, life giving flood! Once more I have reachèd this soul cleansing sea, I will not go back, I will not go back, I will not go back till it rolls over me. 6. The tide is now flowing, I’m touching the wave, I hear the loud call of the Mighty to Save; My faith’s growing bolder, delivered I’ll be; I plunge ’neath the waters, I plunge ’neath the waters, I plunge ’neath the waters they roll over me. 7. And now, hallelujah! the rest of my days Shall gladly be spent in promoting His praise Who opened His bosom to pour out this sea Of boundless salvation, of boundless salvation, Of boundless salvation for you and for me.

William Booth

1829 - 1912 Author of "Boundless Salvation" in The Cyber Hymnal Rv William Booth United Kingdom 1829-1912 Born in Sneinton, Nottingham, his father, well-off, lost much of his wealth and descended into poverty when William was young. William was apprenticed to a pawnbroker at age 13 to pay for schooling fees. He was converted at 15 and read extensively and trained himself in writing and speech. He eventually became a Methodist preacher. He did evangelistic work with his friend, Will Sansom, preaching to the poor on Nottingham. He would have stayed with Will, but Sansom got tuberculosis and died in 1849. William spent a year looking in vain for work. He finally found work with a pawnbroker in London, but the small amount of pay from that and preaching was insufficiennt, so he resigned as a lay preacher and turned to open-air evangelism in the streets and on Kennington Common, London. In 1851 he joined the Methodist Reformed Church and became a full-time preacher at their headquarters at Binfield Chapel in Clapham. In 1853 he became Reformers' minister at Spalding, Lincolnshire. He married Catherine Mumford in 1855 in London. Over the years they had eight children. As a reformer minister he found he had to neglect some duties in order to carry on evangelistic campaigns. After three years as pastor at Gateshead, he requested freedom to pursue evangelism, but was refused. He resigned his ministry of the Methodist New Connexion. Soon he was barred from campaigning in Methodist congregations, so he became an independent evangelist. He started a match factory, making boxes of “Salvation Army” matches and paying his workers more than the competition. He founded the Salvation Army in 1865 and became its first General (1878-1912). The Christian movement, with a quasi-military structure and government, spread from London to many parts of the world and is known for being one fo the largest distributors of humanitarian aid. He and his wife opened the Christian Revival Society in London, holding regular evening meetings. It became the East London Christian Mission, in an old warehouse. It was one of 500 charitable groups in London's east end. It began serving food as well as ministry. Over the years the ministry name changed to Salvation Army (SA), but the struggle to minister and serve poor people was ongoing. Eventually, the SA expanded to other countries in the British realm, then to countries outside. During his lifetime, the SA was in 58 countries and colonies, as he traveled extensively and held Salvation meetings. He authored books and published a magazine. He also composed several songs. One book, “In darkest England and the way out” became a best seller after 1890 and set the foundation for SA's modern social welfare approach. He had many antagonists until his late years, when antagonism turned to acceptance, and finally to approbation, when he received honors from English leaders and the monarchy. His funeral, held at London's Olympia, was attended by 40,000, and 150,000 people filed past his casket, World leaders paid him homage. John Perry
