Lyics

Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,

And raise your souls above;

Let every heart and voice accord

To sing that-God is love.



This precious truth his word declares,

And all his mercies prove;

While Christ, th' atoning Lamb, appears,

To show that-God is love.



Behold his loving-kindness waits

For those who from him rove,

And calls of mercy reach their hearts,

To teach them-God is love.



O may we all, while here below, 

This best of blessings prove,

Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds,

Shall shout that-God is love.
