Love Is Strength

Topics: classic

Love alone is great in might,     Makes the heavy burden light,     Smooths rough ways to weary feet,     Makes the bitter morsel sweet:     Love alone is strength!     Might that is not born of Love     Is not Might born from above,     Has its birthplace down below     Where they neither reap nor sow:     Love alone is strength!     Love is stronger than all force,     Is its own eternal source;     Might is always in decay,     Love grows fresher every day:     Love alone is strength!     Little ones, no ill can chance;     Fear ye not, but sing and dance;     Though the high-heaved heaven should fall     God is plenty for us all:     God is Love and Strength!
