Lord, above, how much we love Thee
So at least our mouths proclaim
Let it be Lord, in our duty
We do not put words to shame
Lord above, if we so love Thee
Why are we so self-inclined
Why are we in such a hurry
If love is patient and kind
Lord above, in all want’s pining
Let our deepest longing be
Not some superficial mining
But for love’s identity
Lord above, let love unfetter
Focus on Self’s stubborn plan
Teach us how to love You better
Through our love for fellowman
Lord above, let the appraisal
Of our daily worship be
Not to gods fleeting and mortal
But wholly, humbly to Thee
