THE LAW OF LOVE

The following is a poem/hymn with the words by Richard Chenevix Trench

Make Channels For The Streams Of Love

Make channels for the streams of Love,
Where they may broadly run;
And Love has overflowing streams,
To fill them every one.

But if at any time we cease
Such channels to provide,
The very founts of Love for us
Will then seem parched and dried.

For we must share, if we would keep
That blessing from above;
They cease to have who cease to give:
Such is the law of Love.
