272. O Prophet Souls of All the Years

1 O prophet souls of all the years,
speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.

2 From tropic clime and zones of frost
they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.

3 One Life together we confess,
one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:

4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:

5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity.
