SONNET

A Saviour’s love has taken up my case

That one who had been captive should be free;

A Bridegroom’s love has claimed and cherished me,

And held me in the warmth of His embrace.

A Father’s love has lavished on me grace,

Riches and blessing, and has given me

The status of a son that I might be

For His eternal praise before His face.

The Spirit’s love has acted in my soul

And shed abroad God’s love within my heart;

Thus in the church He touches every part

And in uniting love makes all one whole.

The love of God has been so full shown

That now the God of love Himself in known.
