God Give Me Love


God give me love, that holy love

That finds its source in heaven above,

That takes the vilest sinner’s heart

And makes it of my own a part.


God give me love that shares the tears,

That feels the joys and calms the fears

Of man, that understands his cares,

And sees beyond the clothes he wears.


God give me love that knows no pride,

That sees the soul for whom Christ died

As my responsibility,

My task to lead the way to Thee.


God give me love that yearns to tell

Salvation’s plan I know so well

To those who know it not; give grace

To see man’s soul before his face!
