HYMN 143.

Yes, love is of the Lord,
From Him all love proceeds;
The kindly smile, the gracious word,
All loving holy deeds.

He hears us when we call;
He gives our daily food;
He made and loves and cares for all,
For He alone is good.

But most His love is shown
In sending from on high
His only well-beloved Son,
For guilty man to die.

O gift, all gifts above,
Whose price we cannot tell,
But humbly own herein is love,
Yea, love unspeakable.
