Love Is Home + 

Love is the part, and love is the whole; + 

Love is the robe, and love is the pall; + 

Ruler of heart and brain and soul, + 

Love is the lord and the slave of all! + 

I thank thee, Love, that thou lov’st me; + 

I thank thee more that I love thee. + 

Love is the rain, and love is the air, + 

Love is the earth that holdeth fast; + 

Love is the root that is buried there, + 

Love is the open flower at last! + 

I thank thee, Love all round about, + 

That the eyes of my love are looking out. + 

Love is the sun, and love is the sea; + 

Love is the tide that comes and goes; + 

Flowing and flowing it comes to me; + 

Ebbing and ebbing to thee it flows! + 

Oh my sun, and my wind, and tide! + 

My sea, and my shore, and all beside! + 

Light, oh light that art by showing; + 

Wind, oh wind that liv’st by motion; + 

Thought, oh thought that art by knowing; + 

Will, that art born in self-devotion! + 

Love is you, though not all of you know it; + 

Ye are not love, yet ye always show it! + 

Faithful creator, heart-longed-for father, + 

Home of our heart-infolded brother, + 

Home to thee all thy glories gather⁠— + 

All are thy love, and there is no other! + 

O Love-at-rest, we loves that roam⁠— + 

Home unto thee, we are coming home! + 
