The
best of loves
[That you] 'may be able to comprehend with all saints what is
the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of
Christ, which passes knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.' Eph.3.18-19
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.
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 over His loved ones,
Died
to call them all His own;
How
for them He intercedeth,
Watcheth
over them from His 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.
Samuel
Trevor Francis (1834-1925)
