Unto the Least of These

Original tune: What Wondrous Love Is This; William Walker’s Southern Harmony, 1835; arr. William J. Reynolds, 1920
Matthew 25:34-45, 7:23, Revelation 13:8

Unto the least of these, God is love, God is love.
Unto the least of these, God is love.
Unto the least of these Christ our theology,
For the whole world to see God is love, God is love.
For the whole world to see God is love.

Go and do unto these in my name, in my name.
Go and do unto these in my name.
Go and do unto me, love even least of these,
For the whole world to see God has come, God has come.
For the whole world to see God has come.

Love those who are in need rapt in sin, rapt in sin.
Love those who are in need rapt in sin.
Help those who are in need bound in sin’s poverty,
For the whole world to see God is near, God is near.
For the whole world to see God is near.

Unto the least of these preach the word, preach the word.
Unto the least of these preach the word.
Unto the least of these tell them of Calvary,
Salvation rich and free found in Christ, found in Christ.
Salvation rich and free found in Christ.

Is your name written down in God’s love, in God’s love?
Is your name written down in God’s love?
Is your name written down, are you in God’s love found?
For the whole world to see, God will judge, God will judge.
For the whole world to see, God will judge.
