|
<p>Immortal love, forever full,<br>
|
|
Forever flowing free,<br>
|
|
Forever shared, forever whole,<br>
|
|
A never ebbing sea!</p>
|
|
<p>Our outward lips confess the name<br>
|
|
All other names above;<br>
|
|
Love only knoweth whence it came,<br>
|
|
And comprehendeth love.</p>
|
|
<p>Blow, winds of God, awake and blow<br>
|
|
The mists of earth away:<br>
|
|
Shine out, O Light divine, and show<br>
|
|
How wide and far we stray.</p>
|
|
<p>We may not climb the heavenly steeps<br>
|
|
To bring the Lord Christ down;<br>
|
|
In vain we search the lowest deeps,<br>
|
|
For Him no depths can drown.</p>
|
|
<p>But warm, sweet, tender, even yet,<br>
|
|
A present help is He;<br>
|
|
And faith still has its Olivet,<br>
|
|
And love its Galilee.</p>
|
|
<p>The healing of His seamless dress<br>
|
|
Is by our beds of pain;<br>
|
|
We touch Him in life’s throng and press,<br>
|
|
And we are whole again.</p>
|
|
<p>Through Him the first fond prayers are said<br>
|
|
Our lips of childhood frame,<br>
|
|
The last low whispers of our dead<br>
|
|
Are burdened with His Name.</p>
|
|
<p>O Lord and Master of us all,<br>
|
|
Whate’er our name or sign,<br>
|
|
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,<br>
|
|
We test our lives by Thine.</p>
|
|
<p>The letter fails, the systems fall,<br>
|
|
And every symbol wanes;<br>
|
|
The Spirit over brooding all,<br>
|
|
Eternal Love remains.</p>
