The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 ‎#309

309. Our God is Love

1 Our God is love; and all his saints
His image bear below:
The heart with love to God inspired,
With love to man will glow,
With love to man will glow.

2 None who are truly born of God
Can live at enmity;
Then may we love each other, Lord,
As we are loved by thee,
As we are loved by thee.

3 Heirs of the same immortal bliss,
Our hopes and fears the same,
The bonds of love our hearts unite,
With mutual love inflame,
With mutual love inflame.

4 So may the unbelieving world
See how true Christians love;
And glorify our Savior's grace,
And seek that grace to prove,
And seek that grace to prove.
