Here Is Love, Vast as the Ocean (Everlasting Praise)

Here is love, vast as the ocean,

Loving-kindness as the 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 shall never be forgotten,

Throughout Heav’n’s eternal days

On the mount of crucifixion,

Fountains opened deep and wide,

Through the flood-gates of God’s mercy,

Flowed the vast and gracious tide;

Grace and love, like mighty rivers

Poured incessant from above,

And God’s peace and perfect justice

Kissed a guilty world in love.

On the morn of resurrection

Mercy filled the thirsty grave

Where the stone of death burst open

Springs of life flowed unrestrained

Love no heart could ever measure

Joy no sorrows will outrun

Rush upon the soul believing

In the risen, reigning Son

O this love, vast love of Jesus

Bids us come and drink and live

To this weary world of longing

What more could our Savior give

Now to Christ who fully loved us

And who freed us from our sin

Be all glory and dominion

Everlasting praise to Him
