With love the Saviour's heart o’erflowed;
Love spoke in every breath;
Supreme it reigned, throughout his life,
And triumphed in his death.
Behold, this new command he gives
To those that bear his name,—
That they shall one another love,
As he hath lovéd them.
In eve action, every thought,
Be this great law fulfilled;'
Forgotten be each selfish aim,
Each angry passion stilled.
Let all who bear the name of Christ,
While they his sufferings view,
Think of his words, “Each other love,
As I have lovéd you."
