1. Enter ye Love’s Kingdom,
All God’s own possession,
Who in Christ have found salvation.
Learn from your Redeemer,
Each to love his brother
And in love to serve each other!
Heed with care; gladly bear
All who seek His favor,
Though they faint and waver.
2. Yield in true submission
And in love be fervent,
Each to be the other’s servant;
Love is void of envy,
Full of kind forbearance
And unlimited endurance,
Love increase! Never cease
Love’s sweet flame to cherish,
Lest it wane and perish!
3. If the Saviour’s Kingdom
Is to grow and flourish
With God’s richest blessings nourished,
May our love be burning,
And God’s love returning;
Jesus, bless our ardent yearning!
Though our foes should oppose,
If we stand united,
They shall be requited.
4. Abba, loving Father,
Son and Holy Spirit,
Heal each fault and each demerit.
False conceit and anger,
Self-esteem and malice
Mortify through Thy pure motives!
We deride Satan’s might,
As ’round Thee we gather
Calling Thee our Father.
All God’s own possession,
Who in Christ have found salvation.
Learn from your Redeemer,
Each to love his brother
And in love to serve each other!
Heed with care; gladly bear
All who seek His favor,
Though they faint and waver.

Lest it wane and perish!

Calling Thee our Father.
