Original text and translations

English text

1.

Belovèd, let us love: love is of God;

In God alone hath love its true abode.

2.

Belovèd, let us love: for they who love,

They only, are His sons, born from above.

3.

Belovèd, let us love: for love is rest,

And he who loveth not abides unblest.

4.

Belovèd, let us love: for love is light,

And he who loveth not dwelleth in night.

5.

Belovèd, let us love: for only thus

Shall we behold that God Who loveth us.

Lyrics: Ho­ra­ti­us Bon­ar, in Sup­ple­ment of the Bap­tist Psalms and Hymns, 1880.
