    "O the deep, deep love of Jesus" from Sarah Michal.


    Download this episode (mp3).

    1 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.
    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 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.

    "O the deep, deep love of Jesus", Samuel Trevor Francis
