              G                      C
Here is love vast as the ocean
          G                        D/F#
Loving kindness as the flood
                G                           C
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom,
               G         D           G
Shed for us His precious blood
             G                      D/F#
Who His love will not remember
               Am                       G
Who can cease to sing His praise

He will never be forgotten
                   G             D           G
Throughout Heav'n's eternal days


            G                      C
On the mount of crucifixion
                G                              D/F#
Fountains opened deep and wide
                   G                                C
Through the floodgates of God's mercy
               G              D           G
Flowed a vast and gracious tide
                   G                        D/F#
Grace and love like mighty rivers
             Am                     G
Poured incessant from above
             Em                             C           

Heav'n's peace and perfect justice
              G         D           G
Kissed a guilty world in love

​

 

            G                      C

Let me all Thy love accepting,

           G                      D/F#
Love Thee ever all my days
         G                              C

Let me seek Thy kingdom only
            G         D           G

And my life be to Thy praise;

           G                         D/F#

Thou alone shalt be my glory,

              Am                 G

Nothing in this world I see;

                  Em                           C           

Thou hast cleansed and sanctified me

           G                D           G

Thou Thyself hast set me free.
