Happy the Heart Where Graces Reign
"But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Cor 13:13
VERSE 1
Happy the heart where graces reign,
Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train,
And perfects all the rest.
VERSE 2
Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
VERSE 3
Tis love that makes our cheerful feet
In swift obedience move:
The devils know, and tremble too;
But satan cannot love.
VERSE 4
This is the grace that lives and sings,
When faith and hope shall cease;
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet realm of bliss.
VERSE 5
Before we quite forsake our clay,
Or leave this dark abode,
The wings of love bear us away,
To see our gracious God.
