Beloved, let us love by John Stainer — Lyrics
Belovèd, let us love: love is of God;
In God alone hath love its true abode.
Belovèd, let us love: for they who love,
They only, are His sons, born from above.
Belovèd, let us love: for love is rest,

About Beloved, let us love
A popular hymn tune setting, Beloved, let us love is ideal for services focused on Christian love and fellowship. John Stainer's arrangement for SATB choir, sung in English, powerfully conveys the text's message of divine love as the source and essence of all goodness. The lyrics, drawn from a well-known devotional text, explore the transformative nature of love, portraying it as the pathway to spiritual sonship, peace, and enlightenment. The music reflects the earnest and affirming sentiments of the words, making it a fitting choice for congregational singing or a reflective anthem. Its straightforward yet deeply felt expression makes it a valuable addition to a choir's sacred repertoire.
