6776. 'Tis Love That Makes Us Happy

1. ’Tis love that makes us happy,
’Tis love that smoothes the way;
It helps us mind, it makes us kind
To others every day.

Refrain
God is love; we’re His little children.
God is love; we would be like Him.
’Tis love that makes us happy,
’Tis love that smoothes the way;
It helps us mind, it makes us kind
To others every day.

2. This world is full of sorrow,
Of sickness, death and sin;
With loving heart we’ll do our part,
And try some soul to win. [Refrain]

3. And when this life is over,
And we are called above,
Our song shall be, eternally,
Of Jesus and His love. [Refrain]
