Hallelujah, Praise the Lord! Hymn 53 God is Love arranged for cello and piano. This hymn describes the love of our heavenly Father who sends his beloved only son Jesus to save, redeem and reveal His great love to everyone. He has pardoned our wrongs and showed His great mercy in granting us eternal life in the future. This hymn starts with the cello playing the main theme in the original key of C major, changes its tonality to minor depicting out wrongs and sinful state, modulates to its relative Eb major bringing once again hope of being saved, and finally returns to the main theme in its initial key of C major. Plenty of contrasts in mood and character for this wonderful hymn.
