Our God is love, and all his saints

His image bear below; The heart inspired with love for God

With love for all will glow.

Teach us to love each other, Lord, As we are loved by you;

May hatred for each other cease, Our spirits, Lord, renew.

Heirs of the same immortal bliss, Our hope and fears the same,

With bonds of love our hearts unite, With mutual love inflame.
