HYMN |
Immortal Love, for ever full,
For ever flowing free,
For ever shared, for ever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
Our outward lips confess the name
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came,
And comprehendeth love.
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.
But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
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.
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.
O Lord and Master of us all!
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, and hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine. |

HYMN |
The call of God resounding,
Thrills on the morning air,
Arise and save My people
From sin's despotic power!
Fair breaks the day with gladness,
Its light brings hope to all;
Oh God of heaven, we bless Thee,
That we have heard Thy call.
The light of God is resting,
Upon the encircling hills,
Pledge of the new day coming,
Hope for our wearied wills;
Long though the night, and dreary,
The day reveals Thy power;
Oh God of heaven, we thank Thee
Our strong and mighty tower!
Fierce though the conflict rages,
Not yet the victory won;
God give us strength and courage
Until our task is done;
The foe moves out against us,
His hosts in grim array;
Oh God of heaven, we pray Thee
Bless Thou our cause to-day.
Oh rouse ye, men of action!
Gird on the sword of right;
The foe is strong, but stronger
Are ye in heaven's might;
With joy we hear the challenge
And answer to Thy call;
Oh God of heaven, Thy Kingdom
Shall triumph overall.
