| Into the heart of JesusDeeper and deeper I go,
 Seeking to know the reason
 Why He should love me so,
 Why He should stoop to lift me
 Up from the miry clay,
 Saving my soul, making me whole,
 Though I had wandered away.
 Into the will of Jesus,Deeper and deeper I go,
 Praying for grace to follow,
 Seeking His way to know;
 Bowing in full surrender
 Low at His blessèd feet,
 Bidding Him take, break me and make,
 Till I am molded, complete.
 Into the cross of JesusDeeper and deeper I go,
 Following through the garden,
 Facing the dreaded foe;
 Drinking the cup of sorrow,
 Sobbing with broken heart,
 “O Savior, help! Dear Savior, help!
 Grace for my weakness impart.”
 Into the joy of JesusDeeper and deeper I go,
 Rising, with soul enraptured,
 Far from the world below.
 Joy in the place of sorrow,
 Peace in the midst of pain,
 Jesus will give, Jesus will give;
 He will uphold and sustain.
 Into the love of JesusDeeper and deeper I go,
 Praising the One Who brought me
 Out of my sin and woe;
 And through eternal ages
 Gratefully I shall sing,
 “O how He loved! O how He loved!
 Jesus, my Lord and my King!”
