Author: Rev. J. D. Burns Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #38 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou, Lord, art Love, and everywhere Lyrics: 1 Thou, Lord, art Love: and ev'rywhere
Thy Name is brightly shown,
Beneath, on earth, Thy footstool fair,
Above, in heav'n, Thy throne.
2 Thy Word is love; in lines of gold
There mercy prints its trace;
In nature we Thy steps behold,
The gospel shows Thy face.
3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend
Our feeble range of sight,
They wind, through darkness, to their end
In everlasting light.
4 Thy thoughts are love; and Jesus is
The living voice they find:
His love lights up the vast abyss
Of the eternal Mind.
5 Thy chastisements are love; more deep
They stamp the seal divine,
And by a sweet compulsion keep
Our spirits nearer Thine.
6 Thy heav'n is the abode of Love:
O blessed Lord, that we
May there, when time's deep shades remove,
Be gathered home to Thee. Topics: God Love Languages: English Tune Title: BELMONT
