Love’s the Grace that Makes Us Strong—Don Fortner
(Tune: #2—Love
Divine—87.87D)
1. When we think how God our Father
Does our
countless faults forgive,
How we ought to
love each other
And in
loving-kindness live!
When my
brother, or my sister,
Has a
heavy, broken heart,
Let my heart for
such be tender,
Weeping with
each weeping heart.
2. When the heart’s cast down with sadness,
Of the
burden give me part;
And when
You give times of gladness
Let joy
flow from heart to heart!
Let us each
esteem the other
Better
than ourselves to be;
Let us each
prefer the other—
Full of love,
from envy free!
3. Let us truly love each other.
(Cease,
forever, scorn and pride!)
Let us
imitate our Savior,
And each
other’s failings hide.
Love is
known by deeds of kindness.
Love is never,
never wrong!
Love’s
the golden chain that binds us
Love’s
the grace that makes us strong!
