124 Lover of the Lord

Tune: R. H. Reeves, 1869

Words: Charles Wesley, 1749

Meter: Common Meter (8,6,8,6)

Lovers of pleasure more than God,
For you He suffered pain;
For you the Savior spilt His blood,
And shall He bleed in vain?

Chorus:

Oh, you must be a lover of the Lord,
Or you can’t go to heaven when you die.
