"In the depths of His love..."

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
  • Refrain:
    He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
    That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
    He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
    And covers me there with His hand,
    And covers me there with His hand.


A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away,
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And filled with His fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God!
For such a Redeemer as mine.

When clothed with His brightness transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.

Two lines of this song were posted by a Facebook friend this morning, and it prompted memories from past years when we would sing this Frances J. Crosby song at church. It's one of the old hymns that aren't sung as much in contemporary services. The words paint a wonderful picture. One that blessed me this morning as I thought of being hidden in the depths of His love and what a wonderful Savior Jesus truly is! Also what a reminder of Him being our strength every day and the reaction we have when we remember all the blessings He has given us:

"Oh, glory to God!
For such a Redeemer as mine."
