Upon Divine Love.
How strong is Love, what tongue expresse it can,Or heart conceive, since it made God a man?
How strong is Love, which made that God-Man dye,
That man might live with God eternally?
Lord, let this love of thine my heart inspire
With love again, as sparks rise from the fire.
Thy love's a Sun, give me a beam from thence,
Which may both light and heat alike dispence,
Light to direct others the surest way
That leads to heaven and everlasting joy:
83
Of fervent Zeal to thee, and pure devotion;
That all my thoughts, words, actions may prove
There is no passion half so strong as Love.
A passion is't? a divine vertue rather,
Which from a Deity springs, and calls God Father;
Yea, Love is God, and God is love; O then
Adore, but not profane it with thy pen!
