How to tell of love in words? And where might I find such speech, That with heart, not merely heard, Holy praise I always teach? To find words so true and clear, Upon my lips to place with care, That every heart might understand: The sacred love of God so fair.
It lives eternal, ever true, Extends salvation's healing hand, And those who seek it through and through— Will find in heart both peace and land. No joy exists without this love, As no salvation without Christ. Let us stand on foundations above, For our salvation was His price.
Oh understand, you people kind: Love is God, the Creator's face. Present through Spirit, everywhere aligned, He loves us all with fatherly grace.
