SUPREMACY OF LOVE.

By Charles D. Wells

JESUS, Lamb of Calvary, Who didst die to set us free, Saviour, gathered to Thy name, We Thy promised presence claim.

Here these peaceful walls within, Free from fear and care and sin, We would muse on Thy great love, Every other love above;

Love which brought Thee down to earth, Bethlehem's Babe of lowly birth, God's dear Son in human guise, Known to none but opened eyes.

Thou the Holy One of God, His delight by heaven adored, Thou didst lay Thy glory by, Stooped to earth for men to die.

Thine those words of agony, "Why hast Thou forsaken Me," Bowed beneath sin's heavy load, Thus to make us nigh to God.

As we muse on all Thy grace To our ruined rebel race, Deep desire doth fill our heart To behold Thee as Thou art,

As Thou art in glory now, Many crowns upon Thy brow, Highest name in earth or heaven, By Thy Father to Thee given.

JESUS, Lord, we Thee adore, At Thy feet our praises pour; Passing knowledge is Thy love Every other theme above. CHARLES D. WELLS.
