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

When revival swept Wales in 1904–1905, this song was vital to the movement, sometimes called the "mighty love-song of the revival." One writer at the time said, "The song is of the marvel of Divine Love, flowing as vast oceans of tender mercies in never-ebbing floodtide; of the very Prince of Life dying, dying to redeem our forfeit life." This hymn has long held a special place in our hearts, though at times it has felt incomplete. Inspired by the original version of the hymn, which quotes Revelation 1:5–6, we wrote two additional verses.
