‘Tis love that makes us happy

by F. E. Belden (1858–1945)

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 579.

Verse 1

’Tis love that makes us happy, ’Tis love that smooths the way; It helps us mind, it makes us kind To others every day.

Refrain

God is love; we’re his little children. God is love; we would be like Him. ’Tis love that makes us happy, ’Tis love that smooths the way; It helps us “mind,” it makes us kind To others every day.

Verse 2

This world is full of sorrow, Of sickness, death, and sin; With loving heart we’ll do our part, And try some soul to win.

Verse 3

And when this life is over, And we are called above Our song shall be, eternally, Of Jesus and His love.
