Here is Love

#44

Here is love, vast as the ocean
Lovingkindness as a flood
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom
Shed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He will never be forgotten
Throughout Heav’n’s endless days

On the mount of crucifixion
Fountains opened deep and wide
Through the floodgates of God’s mercy
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
Grace and love, like mighty rivers
Poured incessant from above
And Heav’n’s peace and perfect justice
Kissed a guilty world in love

Let me, all Thy love accepting,
Love Thee, ever all my days
Let me seek Thy kingdom only
And my life be to Thy praise
Thou alone shall be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me
Thou alone has set me free
