And faith has still its Olivet,
In vain we search the lowest deeps,

And love its Galilee.
For Him no depths can drown.

mp 5 The healing of His seamless dress 2 And not for signs in heaven above,

Is by our beds of pain;
Or earth below, they look

We touch Him in life's throng and press, Who know with John His smile of love,

And we are whole again.
With Peter His rebuke.

Our lips of childhood frame; He is His own best evidence;

P The last low whispers of our dead His witness is within.

Are burdened with His name.
