O the deep, deep love of Jesus

Lyrics: S. Trevor Francis (Mod. R.Mc.)
Tune: Ebenezer

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 Your love
Leading onward, leading homeward 
to Your glorious rest above!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, 
spread His praise from shore to shore!
Always loving, ever loving, 
changing never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, 
died to call them all His own;
Now in heav’n He’s interceding, 
watching o’er them from the throne!

O the deep, deep love of Jesus, 
love of every love the best!
It’s an ocean full of blessing, 
it’s a harbour giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, 
always faithful, ever true.
And it lifts me up to glory, 


for it lifts me up to You!

Original Words

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 liveth, 
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 giving 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!
