O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus

Author: S. Trevor Francis Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 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 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 watcheth 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 heav'n of heav'ns to me; and it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee. Used With Tune: EBENEZER

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,479 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its pow'r till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,370 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heav'nly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.
