MHB 435  – LOVE is the key of life and death,

Methodist-Hymns-435

1:  LOVE is the key of life and death,
Of hidden heavenly mystery :
Of all Christ is, of all He saith,
Love is the key.

2:  As three times to His saint He saith,
He saith to me, He saith to thee,
Breathing His grace-conferring breath :
Lovest thou Me ?

3:  Ah, Lord, I have such feeble faith,
Such feeble hope to comfort me:
But love it is, is strong as death;
And I love Thee.
