480. Immortal Love, Forever Full

1. Immortal Love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never ebbing sea!

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
