Classic Poem

Perfect love the Father giveth,
Full of grace so rich and free,
Like the rain or dew of morning
Falling now on you and me.

Perfect love is born in Jesus,
Naught of self can victory gain,
Till we find it all in Jesus
All our efforts prove but vain.

Perfect love will never falter
Perfect love will never fear,
And when the days are dark and stormy
Perfect love will always cheer.

Perfect love will never slander,
Friend or foe where e'er they go;
But will raise a fallen brother,
And will take his seat below.

Perfect love that long will suffer,
Never murmur or complain,
Never ask her own, or covet
Others' wealth, or earthly fame.

Perfect love is meek and lowly,
Perfect love is rich and free,
Perfect love is Jesus only,
Come to dwell in you and me.
