- 2O 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!
- 3O the deep, deep love of Jesus,love of every love the best!'Tis an ocean full of blessing,'tis a haven giving 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!
