Let us then love
When the world around us
Will none of it pursue
Let us then love
When all around
Is hatred and envy
Let us then love
As so we should desire
Let us then love
When all around is war and rage
Engrossed in the folly of the age
Let us then love
When all wrong is polluted
Diluted and appear to be right
Let us then love
As is pleasing in thy sight
Let us then love
When others may curse
Or rob us (or worse)
Let us then love
Despite all rational reason
With humility and honor
Let us then love
As our father above
Let us then love
All the more
As the days are evil
Let us then love
Beyond all boundaries and creeds
With a purpose that bleeds
Let us then love
That the truth may enlighten
And for some frighten
Yet soften all that is wrought in wicked and wrong
Yes, let us then love
And love on with all courage and joy
