| The Father Himself loveth you. (John 16:27) |
| Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. (John 11:5) |
| The fruit of the Spirit is love. (Gal. 5:22) |
| Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. (1 Peter 1:2) |
May the grace of Christ our Savior,
And the Father’s boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit’s favor,
Rest upon us from above! |
Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord,
And possess in sweet communion,
Joys which earth can ne’er afford. |
