Law of Love.
1All nature feels attractive power,
A strong, embracing force;
The drops that sparkle in the shower,
The planets in their course.
2Thus, in the universe of mind,
Is felt the law of love;
The charity both strong and kind,
For all that live and move.
3In this fine sympathetic chain
All creatures bear a part;
Their every pleasure, every pain,
Linked to the feeling heart.
4More perfect bond, the Christian plan
Attaches soul to soul;
Our neighbor is the suffering man,
Though at the farthest pole.
5To earth below, from heaven above,
The faith in Christ professed,
More clearly shows that God is love,
And whom he loves is blessed.
