A Hymn for Valentine's Day

Here Is Love

Here is love, vast as the ocean,

Lovingkindness as the flood,

When the Prince of life, our ransom,

Interposed 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

Poured a vast and gracious tide.

Peace and love, like mighty rivers,

Flowed incessant from above.

Heaven's peace and perfect justice

Kissed a guilty world in love.
