Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #XIX (1758) First Line: Thus saith the first, thegreat Command Lyrics: 1 Thus saith the first, the great Command,
"Let all thy inward Pow'rs unite
"To love thy Maker, and thy God
"With utmost Vigour and Delight.
"Then shall thy Neighbour next in Place
"Share thine Affections and Esteem,
"And let thy Kindness to thy self
"Measure and rule thy Love to him."
2 This is the Sense that Moses spoke,
This did the Prophets preach and prove;
For Want of this the Law is broke,
And the whole law's fulfill'd by Love.
4 But Oh! how base our Passions are!
How cold our Charity and Zeal!
Lord, fill our Souls with heav'nly Fire,
Or we shall ne'er perform thy Will. Languages: English
