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!
