John 14:15: Strangers to Thy love are they
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Strangers to Thy love are they
Who call it bondage to obey:
Be it our delight to prove,
Obedience is the truth of love;
Love which no compulsion knows,
But freely from the Fountain flows,
Returns spontaneous to the skies,
Pure as the streams of paradise.
