O boundless salvation! deep ocean of love
O fullness of mercy
Christ brought from above
The whole world redeeming
so rich and so free
Now flowing for all men
now flowing for all men
come
roll over me!
My sins they are many
their stains are so deep
And bitter the tears of remorse that I weep;
But useless is weeping; thou great crimson sea
Thy waters can cleanse me
My tempers are fitful
my passions are strong
They bind my poor soul and they force me to wrong;
Beneath thy blest billows deliverance I see
O come
mighty ocean
and roll over me!
Now tossed with temptation
then haunted with fears
My life has been joyless and useless for years;
I feel something better most surely would be
If once thy pure waters
if once thy pure waters
If once thy pure waters would roll over me.
O ocean of mercy
oft longing I’ve stood
On the brink of thy wonderful
life giving flood!
Once more I have reachèd this soul cleansing sea
I will not go back
I will not go back till it rolls over me.
The tide is now flowing
I’m touching the wave
I hear the loud call of the Mighty to Save;
My faith’s growing bolder
delivered I’ll be;
I plunge ’neath the waters
I plunge ’neath the waters
they roll over me.
And now
hallelujah! the rest of my days
Shall gladly be spent in promoting His praise
Who opened His bosom to pour out this sea
Of boundless salvation
of boundless salvation
Of boundless salvation for you and for me.
