The Hymnal ‎#500

500. Beloved, let us love: love is of God

1 Beloved, let us love: love is of God;
In God alone hath love its true abode.

2 Beloved, let us love: for they who love,
They only, are His sons, born from above.

3 Beloved, let us love: for love is rest,
And he who loveth not abides unblest.

4 Beloved, let us love: for love is light,
And he who loveth not dwelleth in night.

5 Beloved, let us love: for only thus
Shall we behold that God who loveth us.

Amen.
