Immortal Love, Forever Full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 317 hymnals Topics: Year B Epiphany 6 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, a never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name all other names above; love only knows from where it came and comprehends God's love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps to bring the Sovereign down; In vain we search the lowest deeps for One no depths can drown. 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet this One our help will be; For faith has still its Olivet, and love its Galilee. 5 The healing of Christ's seamless dress still soothes our beds of pain; We touch it in life's throng and press, and we are whole again. 6 Through Christ our earliest prayers are said with words we scarce can frame; The last low whispers of our dead still echo with Christ's name.

Show us how through care and goodness fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, let it from the earth be banned; pride of status, race, or schooling, dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice may we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, Creator God, have written your great name on humankind; for our growing in your likeness bring the life of Christ to mind, that by our response and service earth its destiny may find.
