Live to Love

MINNY M. H. AYERS

Over the world hangs a cloud of sadness.
Dimming the joy Life has to give.
Oh, gain the vision of Truth-born gladness—
Live to love, and you'll love to live!

Lift thought above the strife and sorrow—
Thoughts of evil have nought to give.
Show forth your hope of a glad tomorrow.
Live to love, and you'll love to live!

Think of our God! He is never failing.
So, to the doubting, assurance give.
No word of true courage is unavailing;
Live to love, and you'll love to live!

Comfort the hopeless with tender caring,
Open your treasures of truth, and give,
Heaven-sent bread will increase through sharing.
Live to love, and you'll love to live!

Great is the call for pure, Christly seeing.
Earth needs the solace that prayer can give.
In unselfed service is shown true being.
Live to love, and you'll love to live!
