Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus!

8.7.8.7.D.
1 Oh, 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 home-ward,
To my glorious rest above.
2 Oh, 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 Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus!
Love of every love the best;
’Tis an ocean full of blessing,
’Tis a heaven giving rest.
Oh, 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.
Samuel Trevor Francis
