Oh The Deep Deep Love of Jesus





Lyrics:
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 homeward to
Thy glorious rest above!

Oh 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 ev'ry love the best!
'Tis an ocean vast of blessing,
'tis a haven sweet of rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
'tis a heav'n of heav'ns to me.
And it lifts me up to glory,
for it lifts me up to Thee!

An adaption from a hymn. I knew of this song from the church I am currently attending. For the good old methodists, the same tune is used in the hymn "God Hath Spoken by the Prophets".
I find this song quite meaningful. The video above is only one of many on Youtube. Just search it by the title for more videos and remixes.

Soli Deo Gloria!

Thanks for sharing the lyrics of Samuel Francis's great hymn, and the link to a rendition of it. Today is the 84th anniversary of Francis's death, and that's why your post caught my eye. Praise the Lord for His infinite love.
