Here Is Love

Fernando Ortega


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 will never be forgotten 
Throughout heaven's eternal 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 heaven's peace and perfect justice 
Kissed a guilty world in love.
