F. H. Allen
GOD is love: O soul believe it;
Bask beneath His love’s warm rays,
Till thy life shall catch its glory,
And thou, too, with love shalt blaze.
2
God is love: ’tis not by effort
Thou wilt e’er that love return;
’Tis the consciousness He loves thee,
This will cause thy heart to burn.
3
Suffer that His love should hold thee,
As a captive evermore;
Then, in ceaseless streams of blessing,
His great love shall through thee pour.
4
Love shall stamp thine every action,
Love shall utter every word,
And the souls who daily meet thee
Shall behold in thee thy Lord.
