Lyics

Love is the strongest tie
That can our hearts unite;
Love makes our service liberty,
Love makes our service liberty,
Our ev'ry burden light.


Love softens all our toil,
And makes our bondage blest;
The gloomy desert wears a smile,
The gloomy desert wears a smile
When love inspires the breast.


Let love forever grow,
And banish wrath and strife;
So shall we witness here below,
So shall we witness here below 
The joys of heavenly life.


When we ascend the skies,
And see the Saviour's face,

Love will to full perfection rise,
Love will to full perfection rise,
And reign through all the place.
