William Cowper - Love Pure And FerventWilliam Cowper - Love Pure And Fervent
Work rating: Low


Jealous, and with love o`erflowing, God demands a fervent heart; Grace and bounty still bestowing, Calls us to a grateful part. Oh, then, with supreme affection His paternal will regard! If it cost us some dejection, Every sigh has its reward. Perfect love has power to soften Cares that might our peace destroy, Nay, does more—transforms them often, Changing sorrow into joy. Sovereign Love appoints the measure, And the number of our pains; And is pleased when we find pleasure In the trials he ordains.
