(\'Happy are they, they that love God\')
Luke 6 v.31-35
**********
As you would that others should do
Unto you, even you
Do you also to them likewise
it is good in God\'s eyes
If you love only them that love
You, what good shall that prove?
For sinners also love those who
Love them repay as due
And if you do good only to
Them which do good to you
What thanks have you, no extra done
But equal one to one
And if you lend only to those
Who repay, who you choose
To lend to, what more have you done
Than expect shortage none?
So even love your enemies
And do good, lend to these
Hoping for nothing in return
So more of Christ\'s ways learn
Your reward then, it shall be great be
You children of God, see
He kind to the good and evil
To thankful, unthankful
