(\'Past three o\'clock\')
1 John 4 v.7-11, and v.16
St John\'s Day - Dec 27.
*********
Belovéd, let us love one another
John says, each one, as sister and brother
Chorus
Friends, we may God\'s love here now know and believe
His love to us, we may accept, receive
For love is of God, and true, every one
That loves is born of God and knows His Son - Chorus
They that love not, they know not God, for see
God is love, and He shows us love freely - Chorus
Love in salvation, unto each nation
God\'s love in His Son, redeeming each one - Chorus
Herein is love, not that we first God loved
But His love to us, forgiveness encoved* (*encovenanted)
If God so loved us, we ought also to
Love one another, be made in Christ new - Chorus
