O Christian, Love

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 154 hymnals Topics: Proper 5 Year A First Line: O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; to worship rightly is to love each other, each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 Follow with reverent steps the great example: Jesus whose holy work was doing good; so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple, each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease; love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, and in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide thee, ask for naught beside thee. 2 In thine arms I rest me; foes who would molest me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, God dispels our fear; sin and hell in conflict fell with their heaviest storms assail us: Jesus will not fail us. 3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in: those who love the Father, though the storms may gather, still have peace within; yea, whate'er we here must bear, still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!

Dès les bras maternels il nous a protégés et, jusqu'au dernier jour, il est notre berger. 2 Loué soit notre Dieu! Que notre vie entière tous nous vivions joyeux sous le regard du Père; qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce et nous guide toujours, nous garde du malheur par son unique amour. 3 De ce Dieu trois fois saint qui règne dans la gloire, chrétiens, empressons-nous de chanter la victoire; c'est lui qui nous unit et nous fait retrouver le chemin de l'amour et de la liberté.
