C. M. R. C. Trench. The Law of Love. |
2 Kings, iv.3. 1 Pour forth the oil, -- pour boldly forth; It will not fail, until Thou failest vessels to provide Which it may largely fill. 2 Make channels for the streams of love, Where they may broadly run; And love has overflowing streams, To fill them every one. 3 But if at any time we cease Such channels to provide, The very founts of love for us Will soon be parched and dried. 4 For we must share, if we would keep That blessing from above; Ceasing to give, we cease to have; -- Such is the law of love.
