298. Belovèd, let us love: love is of God

1 Belovèd, let us love: for love is of God;
in God alone love has its true abode.

2 Belovèd, let us love: for those who love,
they only, are his sons, born from above.

3 Belovèd, let us love: for love is rest,
and he who loveth not abides unblest.

4 Belovèd, let us love: for love is light,
and he who loveth not dwelleth in night.

5 Belovèd, let us love: for only thus
shall we behold that God who loveth us.
