All Because We Do Not Love Them – Hymn Lyric
Many souls today are dying,
Sin and sorrow is their lot;
Darkness shrouds them with its mantle,
All because we love them not.
All because we do not love them,
Millions fill the heathen grave;
Brother, can you see them perish,
When a little love would save?
Brother, can we guiltless linger,
When to us the truth is giv’n?
Tearless, see the heathen dying,
Without God or hope of heav’n?
Love brought Jesus down from glory,
On the cruel cross to die;
Can we say we love the heathen,
If we turn away their cry?
Love undying, love eternal
Love will send us o’er the wave,
Will impel us to our duty,
Helpless heathen souls to save.
Jesus said, Go, teach all nations”;
They are lost if we delay;
Can we face Him at the judgment,
If His word we disobey?
Meaning of All Because We Do Not Love Them
In this hymn, we are reminded of the importance of showing love and compassion to those around us, especially to those who are in need. The words of the hymn speak to the idea that many people in the world are suffering and feeling lost because they lack the love and care that we have the power to give.
It is easy to get caught up in our own lives and concerns, but we must remember the impact that a little love can have on someone who is struggling. The hymn paints a stark picture of the consequences of neglecting to show love to those who are in need. It speaks of the darkness that shrouds those who are not shown love, leading them to a place of sorrow and despair.
As we go about our daily lives, we have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those around us. Whether it is a kind word, a helping hand, or simply taking the time to listen, our acts of love can truly save someone from a life of hardship and hopelessness.
The hymn also challenges us to consider our role in sharing the truth and love of God with others. It asks us if we can truly say that we love the heathen if we ignore their cries for help. Just as Jesus sacrificed himself out of love for us, we are called to love others selflessly and unconditionally.
It is a powerful reminder that love is not just a feeling, but a call to action. We are called to go out into the world and show love to those who need it most. This may mean stepping out of our comfort zones or making sacrifices, but the impact of our love can change lives and bring hope to those who are suffering.
As we reflect on the message of this hymn, let us remember that we have the power to make a difference in the world by simply showing love to those around us. Let us not turn a blind eye to those in need, but instead, let us be inspired to extend a hand of love and compassion to all who cross our paths. By doing so, we can fulfill our duty to help save helpless souls and ultimately bring light to a world that is in desperate need of love.
I hope this hymn inspired image brings you hope and peace. Share it with someone who needs it today!
