A Little More Love
Language: English
We can all be more loving as days go by, if we try, if we try For love is of God, and love never fails, and over all evil its power prevails, For Heaven is loving, just loving each day, And loving is healing where pains pass away, and the world would dwell safely in peace, like the dove, with a little more love, just a little more love. To give out more love as cach day goes by, let us try, let us try. For where love is all good is and there is no ill, Where love is no fear is and discords are still, and the light of the angels will shine in our eyes, as we lay down all error in love's sacrifice. And all that is needed God's goodness to prove, Is a little more love, just a little more love. For Love is our God and His power avails To conquer all evil, and love never fails, and the world would dwell safely in peace like the dove, with a little more love, just a little more love.
