O the deep, deep love of Jesus
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.
1. O think of the home over there,
By the side of the river of light,
Where the saints all immortal and fair
Are robed in their garments of white.
Refrain:
Over there, over there, O think of the home over there.
Over there, over there, O think of the home over there.
2. O think of the friends over there,
Who before us the journey have trod;
Of the song that they breathe on the air
In their home in the palace of God.
3. My Saviour is now over there,
Where my kindred and friends are at rest;
Then away from my sorrow and care
Let me fly to the land of the blest.
4. I’ll soon be at home over there,
For the end of my journey I see;
Many dear to my heart over there
Are waiting and watching for me.
O Thou eternal Christ of God,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
Establish Thou forevermore
The triumph now begun.
A mighty host, by Thee redeemed,
Is marching in Thy train,
Thine is the kingdom and the power,
And Thou in love shalt reign.
O holy Savior of mankind,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
We bear with Thee the scourge and cross
If so Thy will is done.
And be the road uphill or down,
Unbroken or well trod,
We go with Thee to claim and build
A city unto God.
O Thou whose dreams enthrall the heart,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
Ride on till tyranny and greed
Are evermore undone.
In mart and court and parliament
The common good increase,
Till men at last shall ring the bells
Of brotherhood and peace.
O Thou who art the life and light,
Exalted Lord and King,
We hail Thine august majesty
And loud hosanna sing,
Until in every land and clime
Thine ends of love are won:
O Christ, Redeemer, brother, friend,
Ride on, ride on, ride on!
