A New Verse to a Favorite Hymn

To the tune of Frederick M. Lehman’s “The Love of God”:

The love of God no hand can stay,
Nor doctrine keep us from his heart.
Though we ourselves may turn away,
God’s love shall ne’er from us depart.

And though we fight God to the grave,
Death fails his love to forestall.
For to this end his life he gave,
That he might reconcile all.
