God Is Love.

By Mary Ann H. T. Bigelow

Come blest Spirit from above, Come and fill my heart with love; Love to God, and love to man, Love to do the good I can; Love to high, and love to low, Love to friend, and love to foe. Love to rich, and love to poor, Love to beggar at my door. Love to young, and love to old, Love to hardened heart and cold. Love, true love, my heart within For the sinner, not the sin; Love to holy Sabbath day, Love to meditate and pray, Love for love, for hatred even; Love like this, is born of Heaven.
