Sabbath Psalm (December 6-7)
Sabbath Psalm (6-7)
(From William Reese’s hymn, “Here is Love Vast as the Ocean”)
Here is love, vast as the ocean
Lovingkindness as a flood
When the Prince of life, my ransom
Shed for me His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He will never be forgotten
Through 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
Heaven’s peace and perfect justice
Killed a guilty world in love
Let me all Your love accepting
Love you ever all my days
Let me seek Your kingdom only
And my life be to Your praise
You alone will be my glory
Nothing in the world I see
You have cleansed and sanctified me
You have loved and set me free
In Your truth You will direct me
By Your Spirit, through your Word
And Your grace my need is meeting
As I trust in You, my Lord
All Your fullness You are pouring
From Your endless wells above
Without measure, full and boundless
As I yield myself in love
