Love is the fountain whence
All true obedience flows;
The Christian serves the God he loves,
And loves the God he knows.
He treads the heavenly road,
And neither faints nor tires;
The generous love which warms his breast,
With fortitude inspires.
No burden seems so great,
No task so hard appears,
But this he cheerfully performs,
And that he meekly bears.
May love, that shining grace,
O’er all my powers preside;
Direct my thoughts, suggest my words,
And every action guide.
