Choral
	O Love That Casts Out Fear

Representative Text

1 O love that casts out fear,
O love that casts out sin,
tarry no more without,
but come and dwell within.

2 True sunlight of the soul,
surround us as we go;
so shall our way be safe,
our feet no straying know.

3 Great love of God, come in!
Well-spring of heavenly peace,
thou living water, come:
spring up and never cease.

4 Love of the living God,
of Father and of Son,
love of the Holy Ghost,
fill thou each needy one.

Author: Horatius Bonar

Horatius Bonar was born at Edinburgh, in 1808. His education was obtained at the High School, and the University of his native city. He was ordained to the ministry, in 1837, and since then has been pastor at Kelso. In 1843, he joined the Free Church of Scotland. His reputation as a religious writer was first gained on the publication of the "Kelso Tracts," of which he was the author. He has also written many other prose works, some of which have had a very large circulation. Nor is he less favorably known as a religious poet and hymn-writer. The three series of "Hymns of Faith and Hope," have passed through several editions. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872… Go to person page >
