What is like a living germ * Garnered from a sacred mine Token of a Father's pity, Guide to his eternal city. It is love, it is love, It is love divine. chorus: Love divine so pure and free, Gift from God above, Star of glory, beaming o'er me 'Tis the Savior's love. Star of glory, beaming o'er me 'Tis the Savior's love. What is that which ever lives To redeem this soul of mine, Speaks of life that is immortal Just beyond the silent portal? It is love, it is love, It is love divine. (chorus) What will bring me home at last In my Father's courts to shine Since my sould its grace receiving Looks on high in faith believing? It is love, it is love, It is love divine. (chorus) * the sheet music actually does say "germ," though "gem" would make more sense
