GHS 84 : Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus Lyrics
GHS 84, “Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus,” is a prayer hymn for spiritual growth and deeper intimacy with Christ. Written by Charles Price Jones, the hymn is a repeated petition to go further into God’s love, wisdom, and Word, never settling for a shallow or comfortable level of faith. Each stanza uses the word “deeper” as both a prayer and a direction, pointing the believer toward greater surrender and greater knowledge of Christ.
The refrain adds the dimension of height and wisdom, asking that each day bring the worshipper closer to the mind and heart of God. This hymn is number 84 in the Gospel Hymns and Songs (GHS) collection, used in Deeper Life Bible Church and related assemblies across West Africa, and it fits especially well in prayer meetings and times of personal consecration.
Hymn Lyrics – GHS 84: Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus
- Deeper, deeper, in the love of Jesus, Daily let me go; Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, More of grace to know.
O deeper yet I pray, And higher every day, And wiser, blessed Lord, In Thy precious, holy word.
-
Deeper, deeper! blessed Holy Spirit, Take me deeper still, Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus And His perfect will.
-
Deeper, deeper! though it cost hard trials, Deeper let me go! Rooted in the holy love of Jesus, Let me fruitful grow.
-
Deeper, higher every day in Jesus, Till all conflict past, Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image Perfected at last.
