Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #59 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, for ever full,
For ever flowing free,
For ever shared, for ever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
2 Our outward lips confess the name
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came,
And comprehendeth love.
3 Blow, winds of God, awake and blow
The mists of earth away!
Shine out, O Light Divine, and show
How wide and far we stray!
4 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps
For Him no depths can drown.
5 And warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
6 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
7 The letter fails, the systems fall,
And every symbol wanes;
The Spirit over-brooding all
Eternal Love remains.
