The power of thy love oh God,
Transcends, by far, all other love,
It reaches out to all who need
That healing balm from heaven above.
His love gives us the power of prayer,
That we may pray for one another,
And learn to live with meeting minds
Each one to each, brother to brother.
The gift of speech, of thought, of choice,
The gift to win or lose with grace;
The will to redeem when we have strayed,
Or, faced by fear, that fear outface.
All that we are he gives to us,
Out of that love on which we feed;
An all-embracing love divine,
Witness that God is love indeed.
