Words by Samuel Trevor FrancisTune: EBENEZER by Thomas J. Williams (1869-1944)Key signature: G major (1 sharp)Time signature: 4/2Meter: 8.7.8.7.D.Public Domain1. 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 my glorious rest above.2. 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.3. O the deep, deep love O the deep, deep 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 heav’n of heav’ns to me; And it lifts me up to glory, For it lifts me up to Thee! Amen.
