Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus - SSATBB
Featuring the beloved hymn “Oh, the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus,” as included in Hymns for Home and Church, this beautifully pensive and flowing setting for mixed SSATBB chorus and organ showcases music by Stephen M. Jones and a thoughtful arrangement by Geoff Anderson. First introduced to a wide audience during the April 2025 General Conference by the Northern Utah Youth Choir, this rendition invites both singers and listeners into a deeply reverent and contemplative worship experience.
This pensive, flowing arrangement unfolds with a gentle, rolling motion that reflects the hymn’s imagery of a “mighty ocean,” vast and boundless. Warm choral textures and expressive organ writing create a rich yet intimate sound, drawing singers and listeners into the hymn’s message of Christ’s encompassing love, watchful care, and “haven sweet of rest.” Reverent and contemplative, it is ideal for sacrament meetings, devotionals, or concert settings, offering a meaningful opportunity to feel and testify of the Savior’s profound and personal love.
