A Hymn: Love is the Fulfilling of the Law
Composer’s Foreword
I am not good in notes, but from the local church trainings while in choir, I have come around with this hymn using another hymn. If you know the hymn beneath, then you can join me to sing this song unto the Lord.
The Tune of Hymn to Use
“Stand up, stand up for Jesus
Ye soldiers of the cross
Lift High His royal banner
It must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed”
The Composed Song
1. Love is fulfilling the law
Because it works no ill
If you do love your neighbor
You won’t be able to harm him
Thou shall not be able to steal
Covet things belonging to him
Neither think ‘bout manslaughter
‘Cause love dwell inside of you.
2. Love is fulfilling the law
Because it works no ill
Cannot commit adultert
Neither think ‘bout fornication
Nor will he bear false witness
Conspire ‘gether or envy
‘Cause its fulfilling the law
And it is a holy law
3. Love is fulfilling the law
Because it works no ill
To know the greatest ‘mong the laws
The lawyer goeth to Jesus
Ask which is the great ‘mandment
Amongst all of the laws
He answers that loving God
And neighbor is the great commandment
4. Love is fulfilling the law
Because it works no ill
It does suffereth long for one
And it is also kind
It does not vaunteth itself
Neither seek its own alone
Rejoices not in iniquity
But rejoices in the truth
5. Love is fulfilling the law
Because it works no ill
Therefore put ye on the love
Which is the girdle of perfection
Ye should forbear for one ‘nother
And forgive ye one another
As Christ has even done for you
Likewise do ye ‘to one another
