They that say they are in the light
But hate, it be not right
Such are in darkness even now
They have not loved, \'tis how
They that love others do abide
In the light, there reside
In them no cause of stumbling be
They live righteous, truly
They that hate others, now they be
In darkness, here now see
Live in the dark, and know not where
They go, in no light share
For that darkness has them blinded
Not loving, but hatred
They show, so let us here love all
Obey word of God\'s call
John, apostle, spoke much of love
O Spirit, holy dove
Empower us Christ\'s way to go
His selfless love to show
