Deep is the love of Jesus,
deep is the love of Jesus.
Deep as his cross;
deep as the mocking soldier’s spear
deep as his wounded side.
2. Deep is the love of Jesus,
deep is the love of Jesus.
Deep as his cross;
deep as the thorns on his weary brow
and deep as his nail-pierced hands.
3. Deep is the love of Jesus,
deep is the love of Jesus.
Deep as his cross;
deep as his anguished cry to God
and deep as the darkest day.
Such love, such mercy-praise him for evermore!
