There
is an evil far above
Our
lack of doing things:
It
is forsaking our first love
For
Christ, the King of kings.
May
God preserve us from this scourge
Of
love that fades away!
O
may He search and quickly purge
A
heart too cold to pray!
We
know that faith alone is dead
Without
activity,
Yet
we may work and not be led
By
love’s priority.
O
Lord, we hear Your admonition;
We
hear Your promise too:
That
You will cleanse our heart’s condition
As
we confess to You.
We
thank You for the countless reasons
For
loving You, O Lord,
And
for preserving us in seasons
When
first love is restored.
