O He Whom Jesus Loved

O he whom Je­sus loved has tru­ly spok­en

That ho­li­er wor­ship

which God deigns to bless

Restores the lost

and heals the spir­it brok­en

And feeds the wi­dow and the fa­ther­less.

Then

bro­ther man

fold to thy heart thy bro­ther

For where love dwells

the peace of God is there;

To wor­ship right­ly is to love each oth­er;

Each smile a hymn

each kind­ly deed a pray­er.

Follow with rev­er­ent steps the great ex­am­ple

Of Him whose ho­ly work was do­ing good;

So shall the wide earth seem our Fa­ther’s tem­ple

Each lov­ing life a psalm of gra­ti­tude.
