Law of Love - Good News Series - 4

orchidee



Tune: Binchester

('Happy are they, they that love God')

Deuteronomy Chapter 6 part

********

Lord grant us awe, heavenly fear

We sense that you are near

And to trust your laws, believing

They good, true be, each thing

 

For they do be your love's commands

Help us meet their demands

To love you, Lord God, with our all

Give strength that we meet that call

 

And too love of neighbour, whoe'er

We may in life here share

Loving our neighbour as our self

Shall benefit soul's health

 

Loving one another as one

As Christ for us has done

As He has loved us, so to love

Spirit help us, holy dove

 

So all laws they be summarised

There none greater besides

But to love, always love, it be

Now and eternally

    I have aimed to include three laws, as it were, and yet overall they are as one law (last stanza), i.e.
    1. Loving God with our all.
    2. Loving our neighbour as ourselves.
    3. Loving one another as Christ has loved us.
