Continuous Love

EMILY PATTERSON SPEAR

Continuous is Thy blessing, Lord;
To us on streams of love it flows.
No mortal hand can give or take,
Eternal Mind all gifts bestows.
The laws of God change not as laws
Writ on the statute books of men;
His laws are love, unchangeable,
Laws that eternally have been.
He leads us through the wilderness.
The Red Sea parts, the waves retreat;
Continuous love is our defense,
His children cannot know defeat.
