Lofty Love

"We love Him, because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19).

O what a lofty impetus
We have to love the Lord:
Because our Savior first loved us
He rightly is adored!

We love Him, and for good reason:
He rescued us from hell!
Through all our life, in every season,
He loved us then as well.

We love Him with confidence:
His love will never end.
His love will be our strong defense,
And He, our closest Friend.
