Immortal Love, Forever Full

Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 298 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11 Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, forever flowing free, forever 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 heav'nly 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 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. 6 Alone, O love ineffable, thy saving name is given; to turn aside from thee is hell; to walk with thee is heaven.

'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh: 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years; And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to sun; Lest we be banished from thy face, And evermore undone. Topics: Atonement Necessary Used With Tune: SHAWMUT

The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding-- Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.

God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands,-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He who did your souls retrieve, Died himself that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners! why, Will ye grieve your God, and die?
