Come, ye that know and fear the Lord

1Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
And raise your thoughts on high;
Let every heart and voice accord
To sing that "God is love."

2This precious truth his word declares,
And all his mercies prove;
Jesus, the gift of gifts, appears,
To show that "God is love."

3Behold his patience, bearing long
With those who from him rove,
Till mighty grace their hearts subdues
To teach them "God is love."

4O may we all, while here below,
This best of blessings prove,
Till warmer hearts in brighter worlds
Proclaim that "God is love."
