'Tis The Truest Joy And Blessing

*We* love because *he* has first loved us. 1 John 4:19

As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love. John 15:9

  1. Romans 15:29, John 15:11'Tis the truest joy and blessing

    Philippians 3:10, Romans 10:9Jesus as our Lord to know,

    Acts 13:48,49, John 14:21Here to yield Him full allegiance,

    1 Peter 2:21, John 21:22Follow in His steps below.

  2. Ephesians 3:19, John 15:9With a perfect love He loves us,

    John 7:37,38, John 13:1Nought its ceaseless flow can stay;

    1 Corinthians 7:23, John 15:16For His pleasure He has bought us,

    Acts 20:28, John 14:20He Himself is ours for aye.

  3. John 10:27,28, John 15:9Never shall His love, so faithful,

    John 10:27,28, Philippians 4:19Of our needs forgetful be:

    1 Corinthians 13:8, Philippians 4:19'Tis a source that never faileth,

    Romans 5:17, Philippians 4:19Inexhaustible and free.

  4. Luke 24:32, John 21:15If He claims our hearts' affections

    Luke 24:32, John 21:15Unreservèd as our own,

    1 John 4:19, John 15:9'Tis because of love unchanging,

    1 John 4:19, John 15:9That in Him was first made known.
