The Love of God was Shown to Man is written by the Benedictine Nuns of Stanbrook Abbey. In the Divine Office (1974) it is sung at Morning Prayer on the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart. For it's musical setting the Office recommends the 1874 hymn tune: Abends by the English composer and musician, Herbert Stanley Oakeley (1830-1903).
