1. O the deep, deep love of Je- sus, vast, un- meas- ured, bound- less, free! Rol- ling as a might- y o- cean in its full- ness ov- er me! Un- der- neath me, all ar- ound me, is the cur- rent of Thy love Lead- ing on- ward, lead- ing home- ward to Thy glor- ious rest a- bove!
 
2. O the deep, deep love of Je- sus, spread His praise from shore to shore! How He lov- eth, ev- er lov- eth, chang- eth ne- ver, nev- er- more! How He watch- es o'er His loved ones, died to call them all His own; How for them He in- ter- ce- deth, watch- eth o'er them from the throne!
 
3. O the deep, deep love of Je- sus, love of ev- ery love the best! 'Tis an o- cean full of bless- ing, 'tis a ha- ven giv- ing rest! O the deep, deep love of Je- sus, 'tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me; And it lifts me up to glo- ry, for it lifts me up to Thee!
