The Love of God III

And then there is the gospel song (as opposed to "hymn") with the title The Love of God. This one was written by Laurene Highfield and music composed by Samuel W. Beazley.  

1  

Since the love of God has shed  

Priceless blessings on my head  

I have made it my own;  

I will hide it in my heart,  

That it never may depart,  

It shall rule there alone.  

2  

Since the Son of God came down  

With his love our lives to crown,  

He with us would remain;  

Greater love there could not be,  

Jesus died for you and me,  

In our hearts he would reign.  

3  

He who gave his love to me,  

That I might from sin be free,  

Bids me share it today;  

"As I loved you," he has said,  

"You must serve men in my stead,  

As you go on your way."  

4  

While his love burns true and bright,  

We are walking in the light,  

He has shown us the road;  

We his glory must reflect,  

Lest our dimness and neglect  

Keep some soul from its God.    

REFRAIN  

The love of God within the heart  

Will kindliness and warmth impart  

The soul will glow like Jesus in his tender mercy  

If the heart is made his dwelling place:  

The love of God glows like a flame,  

Thru endless years it is the same,  

The love of God will never fail nor lose its glory  

Till we see him face to face.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. ~John 13:34
