- 1Come, ye that know and fear the Lord!
- And raise your souls above:
- Let every heart and voice accord
- To sing that—God is love.
- 2This precious truth his Word declares,
- And all his mercies prove;
- While Christ, th' atoning Lamb, appears,
- To show that—God is love.
- 3Behold, his loving-kindness waits
- For those who from him rove,
- Till mighty grace their heart subdues
- To teach them—God is love.
- 4The work begun is carried on
- By power from heav'n above;
- And ev'ry step, from first to last,
- Proclaims that—God is love.
- 5In all his doctrines and commands,
- His counsels and designs—
- In ev'ry work his hands have framed,
- His love supremely shines.
- 6O! may we all, while here below,
- This best of blessings prove,
- Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds,
- Shall sing that God is love.
