Let Love Prevail

Did you ever realize
God’s word by love is summarized?
“Love God; love your neighbor, too.”
May God’s love fill both me and you!

How God loves us! And in kind
We love our Lord—heart, soul, and mind!
Once on dross our love we poured;
Now, with the first love, love the Lord!

We the Lord’s commandment take;
Love for His people ne’er forsake!
Thus the church will builded be,
Christ’s longed-for bride, eternally!

Though the earth is dark today,
Choose love, the most excelling way!
When God fills us, we embrace
Both good and bad, the human race!
