"Because he first loved us"
We love him, because he first loved us.—I John 4:19,
"Because he first loved us," we love
His children here;
For through His love we learn that all
Are His, and dear.
"Because he first loved us," we know
He always will.
And in this truth secure we rest,—
Love knows no ill.
'Twas through His love we learned to love!
Ah, precious thought!
As tender, mother-hearts their babes,
His love He taught.
"Because he first loved us"! Ah, Lord,
How good is life—
Life in this Love, that knows nor sin,
Nor pain, nor strife!
"Because he first loved us," He sent
The Master here,
To live for us the perfect life
Above all fear.
So may we love enough to hear
Love's tender call,
Go forth and heal as Jesus did,
And prove Love all!
