LyicsAm I, indeed, born from above?
Do I partake of Jesus' love?
Then let me all my duty know,
And love, by my obedience, show.
Fain would I love his person more,
And God, in all his works, adore;
O may his love, my heart inflame
With love to all that love his name.
Wherever I, his image see,
O, let those souls be dear to me;
Dear as the ransom of his blood,
Dear as the favorites of God.
Jesus to us his love doth show,
And bids us love each other too;
But O! how little love sincere
Is found in great professors here!
What anger, pride and malice swell
Those breasts where love alone should dwell?
O! why should satan thus devour
Religion's glory and its power?
Come heav'nly spirit from above,
And fill our hearts with thy sweet love;
That ye may say to all mankind,
See how those love, whom God hath join'd.
