Today’s hymn sung by St Martins in the Fields is: Immortal Love, for ever 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)
