Thou Lord, Art Love, and Everywhere

Verse 1

Thou, Lord, art love, and everywhere Thy name is brightly shown, Beneath, on earth, Thy footstool fair, Above, in heaven, Thy throne.

Verse 2

Thy ways are love; though they transcend Our feeble range of sight, They wind, through darkness, to their end In everlasting light.

Verse 3

Thy thoughts are love; and Jesus is The living voice they find; His love lights up the vast abyss Of the eternal mind.

Verse 4

Thy chastisements are love; more deep They stamp the seal divine, And by a sweet compulsion keep Our spirits nearer Thine.

Verse 5

Thy heaven is the abode of love: O blessed Lord, that we May there, when time's deep shades remove, Be gathered home to Thee.

Verse 6

Amen.
