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 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!

- S. Tre­vor Fran­cis, 1875

That is a beautiful song, one of my favorites!!!

When the Lord was drawing me unto Himself he used this song. We had had some flooding so the park had become a lake and in the distance was the river, and it was rolling, rolling, rolling - this song (by Selah) was on my iPod so I would watch the river as I listened to the music (sometimes with the moonlight dancing upon the surface of the water). Now whenever I hear this song . . . well, I fall in love with my Lord all over again!
