The Creed of Love

Previous
I HAVE a creed, I’ll tell it you,
Since you have asked me to define
On what I build my hopes of heaven.
My creed—yes, I can call it mine,
Since it belongs to every soul
That reaches upward toward the light,
And trusts in Christ for guidance sure,
And strength and will to do the right.
You’ll find it written down, my friend,
In that old Book upon the shelf,
’Tis: Love the Lord with all thine heart
And love thy neighbor as thyself.
Not quite enough? ’Twas counted so
By One Who walked by Galilee,
His creed of love to God and man
Is quite enough for you and me.
