Lyrics
Immortal love, forever full, forever flowing free,
forever shared, forever whole, a never-ending sea!
Our outward lips confess the name all other names above;
but love alone knows whence it came and comprehendeth love.
Blow, winds of love, awake and blow the mists of hate away;
sing out, O Truth divine, and tell how wide and far we stray.
The letter fails, the systems fall, and every symbol wanes;
the Spirit overseeing all, Eternal Love, remains.
