Deep down into the depths of this Thy Name
- Deep down into the depths of this Thy Name,
My God, I sink and dwell in calm delight;
Thou art enough however long the day,
Thou art enough however dark the night. - Thou art my God—the All-Sufficient One,
Thou canst create for me whate'er I lack;
Thy mighty hand has strewn the lonely track
With miracles of love and tender care - For me Thy trusting one. My God I dare
Once more to fling myself upon Thy breast,
And there adore Thy ways in faith's deep rest,
And there adore Thy ways in faith's quiet rest.

Sept. 2, 2011Dawn FooKuala Lumpur, MalaysiaThou art enough, Thou art enough,Tho art my God--the All-Sufficient One. I fling myself unto Thy breast. Such great comfort and rest!
Sept. 2, 2011Henry Francis B. EspirituCebu City, Cebu, PhilippinesOh my Beloved Lord! Thou art to me as my enablement! Thou art the All-Sufficient One and I am nothing! Oh to be nothing so I may gain Thee as my everything! Oh Lord, oh my Beloved, Thou art my All-in-All and without Thee I am just a dust--an insignificant speck in this ephemeral universe. With Thee, I am complete! Without thee I am barren, forlorn and desolate. Oh Thou Almighty One, Thou art my Guide and Stay and I am continually a pain to my own self without Thy abiding presence! Do not withhold Thy Presence away from me. Oh Beloved Lord, at Thy Banqueting Table, Thou hast filled me with all the good things and Thou hast feed me with Thy own choicest gift--Thy very own Life Itself! Oh my All-Sufficient One! Oh my Beloved Lord, what can I ask but to surrender at Thy resplendent feet and become Thy insignificant slave! Better a day at Thy footstool than listening to the noises of my self-life! Amen!
Jan. 5, 2011Mark EstrellaBrea, Ca., United StatesI appreciate that this hymn reminds us of our lack, we lack Him no longer for His blood has paid our endless debt. By resurrection He has silenced all our death. Now we enjoy the calm of His own rest.
July 27, 2009Isaiah TorSydney, NSW, AustraliaThe sweetness of this hymn lies not merely in the provision of the Lord for all our needs, but also that in so enjoying His provision and all-inclusive care we "sink", dwell deeply in the riches of His Person, His name. As we dwell in this All-sufficient One, He creates for us "whate'er" we lack, denoting to us that He is the God who call things not being as being. Such a provision is in our apprehension of Him as the God of resurrection, the One who is within us supplying all that we need both inwardly and outwardly. It is in such a sweet, available and intimate One, that we "fling", not only our cares, but ourselves upon His "breast", and there adore His ways in faith's deep rest!
