Tune: | SERENITY |
Arranger: | Uzziah C. Burnap |
Composer: | William V. Wallace |
1 Immortal Love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
2 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.
3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
4 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.
5 O Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own thy sway, we hear thy call,
We test our lives by thine.
Amen.
