Love for Love

Knowing that the God on high,
With a tender Father's grace,
Waits to hear your faintest cry,
Waits to show a Father's face, —
Stay and think ! — oh, should not you
Love this gracious Father too ?

Knowing Christ was crucified,
Knowing that He loves you now
Just as much as when He died
With the thorns upon His brow, —
Stay and think ! — oh, should not you
Love this blessed Saviour too ?

Knowing that a Spirit strives
With your weary, wandering heart,
Who can change the restless lives,
Pure and perfect peace impart, —
Stay and think ! — oh, should not you
Love this loving Spirit too ?
