LOVE AND LOYALTY

- Immortal Love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared,for ever whole,
A never-ebbing sea ! - We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the low est 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. - 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.

- We bear the strain of earthly care,
But bear it not alone ;
Beside us walks our brother Christ
And makes our task his own. - Through din of market, whirl of wheels,
And thrust of driving trade,
We follow where the Master leads,
Serene and unafraid. - The common hopes that make us men
Were his in Galilee ;
The tasks he gives are those he gave
Beside the restless sea. - Our brotherhood still rests in him,
The Brother of us all,
And o'er the centuries still we hear
The Master's winsome call.
