Come, ye that know and fear the Lord

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 hearts subdues
To teach them "God is love."

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