THE LOVE OF GOD

O love that casts out fear,
O love that casts out sin,
Tarry no more without,
But come and dwell within.
True sunlight of the soul,
Surround me as I go;
So shall my way be safe,
My feet no straying know.
Great love of God, come in,
Well-spring of heavenly peace;
Thou Living Water, come,
Spring up, and never cease.
Love of the living God,
Of Father and of Son,
Love of the Holy Ghost,
Fill thou each needy one.
Praise to the Father give,
The Spirit and the Son;
Praise for the mighty love
Of the great Three in One.
