LOVED! then the way will not be drear;
For One we know is ever near,
Proving it to our hearts so clear
That we are loved.
2
Loved with everlasting love
By Him who left His home above,
To bring us life, and light, and love,
Because He loved.
3
Loved, when our sky is clouded o’er,
And days of sorrow press us sore;
Still will we trust Him evermore,
For we are loved.
4
Loved, when we leave our native soil,
In heathen lands to live and toil;
Under His shadow naught can foil:
Still we are loved.
5
Time, that affects all things below,
Can never change the love He’ll show;
The heart of Christ with love will flow,
And we are loved.
6
Loved in the past of yesterday,
And all along our future way,
And in the present of today,
Forever loved.
7
Loved when we sing the glad new song
To Christ, for whom we’ve waited long,
With all the happy, ransomed throng;
Forever loved.
