Here Is Love (Bb/C/BC solo)
“Here Is Love” was originally penned by the Welsh poet William Rees (1802-1883) then translated from Welsh into English by William Edwards (1848-1929). The text is based on one of the most famous Scripture references, John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (NIV). The beautiful melody that accompanies the text was composed by American gospel songwriter Robert Lowry in 1876. Although this hymn is 150 years old, it remains popular today.

With further modulation the solo line gravitates to a style reminiscent to the second section. The coda section is patterned after the first section and then settles down to sweet silence.
