The Law of Love.
NOW, "Master," said a Pharisee,
Thus tempting Him again:
"Which commandment is the greatest
That the law doth contain?"
Jesus said: "Thou shalt love the Lord
Thy God with all thy heart,
And all thy soul and all thy mind—
This is the first great part.
"And the second is like to it:
Thou shalt thy neighbor love
In the same way thou lov'st thyself;
By deeds this new law prove.
"Upon these two commandments—
Within the spirit wrought—
Hang all the law that Moses wrote,
And all the prophets taught."
