15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

     17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.(KJV)

5. Oh, draw me, Savior, e’er to Thee; 
So shall I run and never tire. 
With gracious words still comfort me; 
Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. 
Free me from every guilt and fear; 
No sin can harm if Thou art near. 

6. Still let Thy love point out my way; 
What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! 
Still lead me lest I go astray; 
Direct my work, inspire my thought; 
And if I fall, soon may I hear 
Thy voice and know that love is near! 

7. In suffering be Thy love my peace, 
In weakness be Thy love my power; 
And when the storms of life shall cease, 
O Jesus, in that final hour, 
Be Thou my Rod and Staff and Guide 
And draw me safely to Thy side!
