Hymn 54
Here is love, vast as the ocean
- Here is love, vast as the ocean.
Loving-kindness as the flood;
When the Prince of life my ransom,
Shed for me his precious blood.
Who His love will not; remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He shall never be forgotten.
Thro' heav'n's everlasting days.
- On the mount of crucihxion,
Fountains open'd deep and wide.
Thro' the flood-gates of God's mercy
Flow'd the vast arid gracious tide;
Grace and love like mighty rivers
Pour'd incessant from above.
And heav'n's peace and perfect justice
Kiss'd a guilty worid 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 worid I see:
Thou hast cleansed and sanctihed me,
Thou Thyself hast set me free.
- In Thy truth Thou dost direct me
By Thy Spirit through Thy Word;
And Thy grace my need is meeting.
As I trust in Thee, my Lord.
All Thy fulness Thou art pouring
In Thy love and power in me.
Without measure, full and boundless.
As I yield myself to Thee.
