478. God is Love

1 God is love! O soul, believe it;
Bask beneath His love’s warm rays,
Till thy life shall catch its glory,
And thou, too, with love shalt blaze.

2 God is love,—‘tis not by effort
Thou wilt e’er that love return;
‘Tis the consciousness He loves thee,
This will cause thy heart to burn.

3 Suffer that His love should hold thee
As a captive evermore;
Then in ceaseless streams of blessing,
His great love shall through thee pour.

4 Love shall stamp thy every action,
Love shall utter every word,
And the souls who daily meet thee
Shall behold in thee thy Lord.
