Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 303 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 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. 3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is He; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 4 The healing of His seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch Him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 5 O Lord and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. Amen.

Do not I love thee, O my Lord?

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 320 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Do not I love thee, O my Lord? Behold my heart and see: And turn each cursed idol out, That dares to rival thee. 2. Do not I love thee, O my soul? Then let me nothing love; Dead be my heart to every joy, When Jesus cannot move. 3. Is not thy name melodious still To my attentive ear? Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound My Savior's voice to hear? 4. Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock I would disdain to feed? Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead? 5. Would not mine ardent spirit vie With angels round the throne, To execute thy sacred will, And make thy glory known? 6. Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name, And challenge the cold hand of death To damp the immortal flame? 7. Thou knowest I love thee, dearest Lord, But O, I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more! Used With Tune: DETROIT Text Sources: Baptist Harmony, p. 139
