1. I will love thee, O Lord. With strong, hearty affection will I cling to thee; as a child to its
parent, or a spouse to her husband. The word is intensely forcible; the love is
of the deepest kind. Our triune God deserves the warmest love of all our
hearts. Father, Son and Spirit have each a claim upon our love. The solemn
purpose never to cease loving naturally springs from present fervor of
affection. My strength. Our God is the strength of our life, our graces,
our works, our hopes, our conflicts, our victories. This verse is not found in 1 Samuel 22, and is a most precious addition, placed above all and after
all to form the pinnacle of the temple, the apex of the pyramid. Love is still
the crowning grace.
