God, Whose Name Is Love

Representative Text

1. God, whose name is love,
Little ones are we!
Listen to the hymns
That we sing to Thee.

2.Help us to be good,
Always kind and true,
In the games we play
Or the work we do.

3. Bless us every one,
Singing here to Thee,
God, whose name is love,
Loving may we be.
