PRESENT LOVE

If love had led Him to the grave

For those whom He desired to save

Love leads Him as a risen Man

To serve in every way He can.

If one is grieving, in distress,

He comes to comfort - and to bless;

If one denied the Lord before

He comes to cherish and restore;

If some turn from Jerusalem

He goes their way to shepherd them.

But more, through all that He has wrought,

He comes with secrets of God’s thought,

Comes to the circle of His own

That there He should be freshly known.

This is based on Luke 24, the Lord's activity as a risen Man.
