Hymn 142

John Greenleaf Whittier
(142)
BISHOPTHORPE
Jeremiah Clark

Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never ebbing sea,—

Our outward lips confess the name All other names above; But love alone knows whence it came, And comprehendeth Love.

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.

The letter fails, the systems fall, And every symbol wanes: The Spirit overbrooding all, Eternal Love, remains.
