80. LOVE BEGETS LOVE

​Author:  Johann Scheffler (1624-1677)
Music ​Source:  Geistreiches Gesangbuch, Darmstadt, Germany, 1698

1. Love, who fashioned me, the likeness 
    Of Thy God-head here to bear  
    Me from fall and from transgression 
    Didst restore with tender care: 
    Love, I give myself to Thee, 
    Thine to be eternally. 
 
2. Love, by which I was selected 
    Ere I saw the light of day; 
    Love, whose goodness was reflected 
    In man’s likeness and array; 
    Love, I give myself to Thee, 
    Thine to be eternally. 
 
3. Love, which for my sin did suffer 
    And which died, that I might live; 
    Love, which grace to all does offer 
    And eternal peace does give; 
    Love, I give myself to Thee, 
    Thine to be eternally. 
 
4. Love which overcame and conquered 
    My perverse and wayward heart; 
    Love, by which I’m bound and anchored 
    That from Thee I would not part; 
    Love, I give myself to Thee, 
    Thine to be eternally. 
 
5. Love, that ever shall continue 
    Step by step doth gently lead; 
    Love, that sayeth: “Peace be with you,” 
    And for me doth intercede; 
    Love, I give myself to Thee, 
    Thine to be eternally. ​

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
