The Old Story in Song Number Two ‎#18

18. The Tide of Love is Flowing

1 O the tide of love is flowing, sweetly flowing on,
Truly flowing, gently flowing, from the Father’s throne,
Bringing peace to every nation,
Cheering souls in every station,
Wining his sweet approbation,
Flowing on.

Refrain:
Tenderly flowing, graciously flowing,
O the tide of love is flowing, sweetly flowing;
Peacefully flowing, tenderly flowing,
O the tide of love is sweetly flowing on.

2 O the tide of love is flowing for the souls who mourn,
And a blessing from the Father unto them is borne,
Giving joy beyond comparing,
Giving life—so sweet in sharing,
Helping those who cares are bearing,
Flowing on. [Refrain]

3 O the tide of love is flowing, tide of love divine,
And the sunbeams of salvation on its waters shine,
And the joys beyond all knowing,
Of the Saviour’s rich bestowing,
Fill the heart to overflowing,
Flowing on. [Refrain]
