O Sea of Love!

O Sea of Love!
O Sun of Wisdom dispelling the darkness of sin!
O God who for thy humble servant's sake didst become man and didst give up thy life!
I knew not this truth, and was a worthless wretch.
Now is the time to make me thine.
I offer up my heart to thee, O Prince of Virtue!

--H. A. Krishna Pillai, 19th century Tamil poet and hymn writer
