1. Deeper, deeper, Lord, still deeper
I would ever go,
In Thy loving heart abiding,
In Thy grace and truth confiding,
Where, Thy Spirit ever guiding,
I Thy will shall know.
Chorus:
Deeper with my Lord and Savior in His dying love,
Deeper in His intercession on the throne above;
Deeper in the human sorrow of His toil and pain,
Deeper in His conquering spirit and His glorious gain.
2. Deeper, Lord, my soul still crieth,
Deeper in Thy love;
Where, all earth-born ties foregoing,
I Thy heavenly joys am knowing,
And to others be bestowing
Blessings from above.
3. Deeper, Lord, O make me willing
For Thy deeper will;
And, when Thou the wheel art turning,
While my heart with love is burning,
In my mingled fear and yearning,
Help me to hold still.
4. Deeper, Lord, shape Thou the vessel
For Thy highest choice;
Then, when Thou Thy work hast ended,
And my will with Thine is blended,
Love Divine will be extended
Thro’ my heart and voice.
