Trevor Francis (1834-1925)
O,
the deep, deep love of
Jesus!
Vast,
unmeasured, boundless, free;
Rolling
as a mighty ocean
In
its fulness over me.
Underneath
me, all around me,
Is
the current of Thy love;
Leading
onward, leading homeward,
To my
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 vast of blessing,
‘Tis a haven sweet of 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.
