forever flowing free,
forever shared, forever whole,
a never-ending sea!
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
but love alone knows whence it came
and comprehendeth love.
3 Blow, winds of love, awake and blow
the mists of hate away:
sing out, O Truth divine, and tell
how wide and far we stray.
4 The letter fails, the systems fall,
and every symbol wanes;
the Spirit over-seeing all,
Eternal Love, remains. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder The Celebration of Life; Love Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA
