1. Holy love, thou flame from heaven
Which the pure alone can know,
From the heart of Jesus given,
Come and set our hearts aglow:
Come and set our hearts aglow.
2. Joy, the saints alone possessing;
Joy, the world cannot obtain,
Come, our thirsty souls refreshing,
Bind the separate again:
Bind the separate again.
3. Sweet repose, the peace from heaven,
Treasure Jesus hath bestowed,
Now our weary hearts enliven;
Oh, we love thee, gift of God!
Oh, we love thee, gift of God!
4. O may patience, kindness, meekness
Daily in our spirits live,
So that one another’s trespass
We may heartily forgive:
We may heartily forgive.
5. Friendliness, the saints adorning,
Jesus’ image and His sign;
May both friend and foe discerning,
See us ruled by love divine:
See us ruled by love divine.
6. Grant a spirit that is yielding,
Kind, and gentle here below;
With Thy mantle, Savior, shielding
Him whoever loves his foe:
Him whoever loves his foe.
7. Holy faith, in storms our bulwark,
Our defense when battling wrong,
Make us true and lead us upward
Unto yon triumphant throng:
Unto yon triumphant throng.
8. Gentle stillness, breath of heaven,
Still small voice, in which God thrones, -
Show us, when by scoffers driven,
The reward, the victors’ crowns:
The reward, the victors’ crowns.
9. Love of Jesus, love of brothers,
Healing for all ills insure;
Grant thy life, that evil smothers,
And a heart unspotted, pure!
And a heart unspotted, pure!
