“God Is Love”

1. God is love, and he invites us:

‘Walk with me and love my way.’

When we love both God and neighbor,

Gracious deeds will fill each day.

Therein lies the key to living;

Therein lies the life we seek.

Christlike love will never fail us;

Christlike love through us will speak.

2. Love of truth moves us to action;

Love of God moves us to love.

When we fail he seeks to help us;

By his strength we rise above.

Love is pure and never jealous;

Love is kind and bears all things.

May we grow to love our brother;

May we taste what true love brings.

3. Never let resentment lead you;

May it never take your hand.

Look to God, and he will guide you;

He will teach you these commands:

Love of God and love of neighbor,

Ev’rything that love should be.

May we always show to others

Godlike love, yes, tenderly.
