God whose love is strong as death,
God who saw the dark of prison,

touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.

hear the cries of pain and protest,
God who shed the tears and blood;
move in us the power of pity,
restless for the common good.

quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers

How righteous is this rule of thine,
"Never to deal with others worse
"Than we would have them deal with us!"
2 This golden lesson, short and plain,
Gives nor the mind nor memory pain:
And every conscience must approve
This universal law of love.
3 'Tis written in each mortal breast,
Where all our tenderest wishes rest:
We draw it from our inmost veins,
Where love to self resides and reigns.
4 Is reason ever at a loss?
Call in self-love to judge the cause:
Let our own fondest passions shew
How we should treat our neighbor too.
5 How bless'd would every nation prove,
Thus rul'd by equity and love!
All would be friends without a foe,
And form a paradise below.
6 Jesus, forgive us, that we keep
Thy sacred law of love asleep;
And take our envy, wrath, and pride,
Those savage passions, for our guide. Scripture: Matthew 7:12 Languages: English
