Tune: Ebenezer
(one tune to: 'O the deep, deep love of Jesus')
1 John 4 v.10-21 parts
*********
Here is love, not that we first loved
But God loved us, us encoved* (*encovenanted)
Sent His son for our salvation
Avails to every nation
He the propitiation for
Our sins, e'en for evermore
Teh atoning sacrifice made
Our sins price for us has paid
Love we ponder, meditation
And too love shown in action
This love we can know and believe
Love of God we can receive
They that dwell in love, in God dwell
They shall prosper and fare well
Such sell in God, God in them dwells
And their lives His glory tells
If we say we love God, and hate
Others, we are in poor state
And we lie, for who does love not
Others seen, such is our lot
For if we love not those that we see
How then can it be that we
Love God, who we have not seen, though
He in Christ His Son we know

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.7.8.7. 8.7.8.7. There is a slower, more plodding tune to this, I think. But this joyful tune fits well too, I would say.
