Love to God and our neighbor. <br /> <br />Matt. 22:37-40. <br /> <br />Thus saith the first, the great command, <br />"Let all thy inward powers unite <br />To love thy Maker and thy God <br />With utmost vigor and delight. <br /> <br />"Then shall thy neighbor next in place <br />Share thine affections and esteem, <br />And let thy kindness to thyself <br />Measure and rule thy love to him." <br /> <br />This is the sense that Moses spoke, <br />This did the prophets preach and prove; <br />For want of this the law is broke, <br />And the whole law's fulfilled by love. <br /> <br />But O! how base our passions are! <br />How cold our charity and zeal! <br />Lord, fill our souls with heav'nly fire, <br />Or we shall ne'er perform thy will.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hymn-116/
