LyicsCOME, 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 about that--God is love!
