Today’s hymn sung
by St Martins in the Fields is: Immortal love, forever full

1       Immortal love, forever full,

          for ever flowing free,

          for ever shared, forever whole,

          a never-ebbing sea.



2       Our outward lips confess the name

          all other names above;

          love only knoweth whence it came

          and comprehendeth love.



3       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.



4       But warm, sweet, tender, even yet

          a present help is he;

          and faith has still its Olivet,

          and love its Galilee.



5       Through Him the first fond prayers
are said

          our lips of childhood frame;

          the last low whispers of our
dead

          are burdened with his name.



6       Alone, O love ineffable,

          thy saving name is given;

          to turn aside from thee is hell,

          to walk with thee is heaven.


 



John
Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
