EN 5782 Thou, Lord, Art Love, and Everywhere
1John.4.16
Versi Version 1
1
Thou Lord, art love, and everywhere
Thy Name is brightly shown;
Beneath, on earth—Thy footstool fair;
Above, in heaven—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 loving 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 heaven is the abode of love!
O blessed Lord, that we
May there, when time’s dim shades remove,
Be gathered home to Thee!
7
Then with Thy resting saints to fall
Adoring round Thy throne,
When all shall love Thee, Lord, and all
Shall in Thy love be one.
