Brought To Tears

[soulsearcher]

After reading the "Revival And Renewal Movements" I did some online research regarding the Welsh Revival of 1904. The "love hymn" of that revival was "Here Is Love."

I found this version on YouTube, played by a group of young Korean musicians and featuring the Kayagum, traditional instrument of Korea.

Talk about being brought to tears, this did it for me.

And here is the vocal version, with brief historical testimony, by Welsh artist, Huw Priday, equally as moving, with the first verse in Welsh (haunting), and the rest in English.

And the powerful lyrics...

Here is love, vast as the ocean
Lovingkindness as the flood
When the Prince of Life, our Ransom
Shed for us His precious blood
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He can never be forgotten
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 a 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
