Hymn 341: Love is the theme of saints above

HYMN CCCXLI.

Love is the theme of above; Love be the theme of below; Love is of God, for God is Love; With love let every bosom glow:--

Love, stronger than the grasp of Death, Love that rejoices o'er the grave, Love to the Author of our breath, Love to His Son, who came to save;--

Love to the Spirit of all , Love to the Scriptures of all truth, Love to our whole apostate race, Love to the aged, love to youth;--

Love to each other--soul and mind, And heart and hand, with full accord, In one sweet combined, To live and die unto the Lord.

Christ's little flock we then shall feed, The lambs we in our arms shall bear, Reclaim the lost, the feeble lead, And watch o'er all in faith and prayer.

Thus through our isle, on all our bands, The beauty of the Lord shall be; And Britain, glory of all lands, Plant schools from sea to sea.
