Author: George Burder Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: 1 John 4:8 First Line: Come, ye that know and fear the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
And raise your thoughts above:
Let every heart and voice accord,
To sing that "God is love."
2 This precious truth his word declares,
And all his mercies prove;
Jesus, the gift of gifts, appears,
To show that "God is love."
3 Behold his patience, bearing long
With those who from him rove;
Till mighty grace their hearts subdues,
To teach them--"God is love."
4 Oh, may we all, while here below,
This best of blessings prove;
Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds,
Proclaim that "God is love." Topics: God: The Father Used With Tune: DOWNS
