69. Enter in Love’s Kingdom

1. Enter in love’s kingdom,
Children of the Savior,
By His blood brought into favor!
Learn ye from your Master
Brother-love’s true meaning
And from Him receive due training!
Learn with care!
Kindly bear
All who seek Christ’s favor
Though they halt and waver.

2. On your own rights always
Do not stand unduly,
Rather serve each other truly,
For the love that’s fervent
Many sins doth cover,
Patiently forbearing ever.
That your love
Strong may prove,
Nurse its flame unceasing,
Day by day increasing!

3. Shall the Savior’s kingdom,
Many flocks possessing,
Constant be, and rich in blessing –
O let us love ever,
Let us love with fervor!
Grant us aid thereto, O Savior!
Satan flees,
When he sees
Brother stand with brother,
Loving one another.

4. Abba, Father, hear us,
Draw us by Thy Spirit,
Heal us by Thy Savior’s merit;
By Thy grace impel us
That no pride be in us!
Crucify all guile within us!
Help us fight
Satan’s might;
In our hearts enthrone Thee
And as Father own Thee!
