The Love of the Lord

All that I counted as gain

Now I consider as loss

Empty and worthless to me

In the light of the love of the Lord

Riches and honors will fade

Earthly delight disappear

Fade like the grass of the field

In the light of the love of the Lord

What more could bring us hope

Than to know the pow'r of his life?

What more could bring us peace

Than to share in his suff'ring and death?

What more could be our final wish

Than to live in the love of the Lord?

Silver and gold have I none

No land to count as my home

Yet wealth beyond measure I own

In the light of the love of the Lord

Faith is the wealth I possess

Finding its source in my God

Faith in the promise of Christ

Is my life and my love of the Lord

What more could bring us hope

Than to know the pow'r of his life? (Of his life)

What more could bring us peace

Than to share in his suff'ring and death?

What more could be our final wish

Than to live in the love of the Lord?
