Here is love

This is a great hymn. In the sixth line, i’ve got a 8/9 (there’s a **
on that line to point it out). This means you can play either 8 or 9
at that point. I think 9 sounds better.

William Rees – Here is love

7 -8 8 7 -8 8 -8 7
Here is love, vast as the ocean,
7 -6 6 7 -7 7 -8
Lovingkindness as the flood,
7 -8 8 7 -8 8 -8 7
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
7 -6 6 7 -8 -7 7
Shed for us His precious blood.
8 -9 9 8 -9 8 8 -8
Who His love will not remember?
-8 8 -9 -8 8/9 -9 8 **
Who can cease to sing His praise?
8 -8 7 -8 7 -7 -6 7
He can never be forgotten,
7 -8 8 7 -8-7 7
Throughout Heav’n’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 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 shalt be my glory,
Nothing in the world I see.
Thou hast cleansed and sanctified 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.
Of Thy fullness Thou art pouring
Thy great love and power on me,
Without measure, full and boundless,
Drawing out my heart to Thee.
