Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
And raise your thoughts above:
Let ev­ery heart and voice ac­cord,
To sing that God is love.

This pre­cious truth His Word de­clares,
And all His mer­cies prove;
Jesus, the gift of gifts, ap­pears,
To show that God is love.

Behold His pa­tience, bear­ing long
With those who from Him rove;
’Till migh­ty grace their heart sub­dues,
To teach them—God is love.

Oh, may we all, while here be­low,
This best of bless­ings prove;
Till warm­er hearts, in bright­er worlds,
Proclaim that God is love.
