Representative Text

1 “A new commandment give I unto you,
Love one another;”
O hear the Savior’s words so good and true,
“Love one another.”

Refrain:
Love one another, ‘tis the only way,
To keep happy each and ev’ry day;
Heav’nly joy will ev’ry fear allay,
“Love one another.”

2 ‘Tis a witness that we now belong to Him,
“Love one another,”
And a testimony that will never dim,
“Love one another.” [Refrain]

3 Ev’ry work is vain if this we will not do,
“Love one another;”
We’re but sounding brass and tinkling cymbals too,
“Love one another.” [Refrain]

4 May the love of Jesus in your heart be found,
“Love one another,”
‘Till it overflows to all the world around,
“Love one another.” [Refrain]
