Yes, love is of the Lord,

From Him all love proceeds;

The kindly smile, the gracious word,

All loving holy deeds.

He hears us when we call;

He gives our daily food;

He made and loves and cares for all,

For He alone is good.

But most His love is shown

In sending from on high

His only well-beloved Son,

For guilty man to die.

O gift, all gifts above,

Whose price we cannot tell,

But humbly own herein is love,

Yea, love unspeakable.

Eternal God! we look to Thee,

To Thee for help we fly;

Thine eye alone our wants can see,

Thy hand alone supply.

Lord! let Thy fear within us dwell,

Thy love our footsteps guide;

That love will all vain love expel;

That fear, all fear beside.
