A Little Love

Give them just a little love,
These poor creatures with no traces
Of the lovely in their faces.
Though they take your gift with scorning,
Though they grieve you night and morning;
In the name of God above,
Give them just a little love.

Give them just a little love,
Touch their hands in friendly fashion,
Speak to them in kind compassion,
Tell them of the Heavenly City,
With its everlasting pity,
In the name of God above;
Give them just a little love.

Give them just a little love,
These poor creatures. On their faces
Sin and shame have left their traces.
Do not judge them. Kindly leave them
To the Christ who may receive them.
In the name of God above,
Give them just a little love.

Give them just a little love,
These poor creatures with no traces
Of the lovely in their faces.
Though they take your gift with scorning,
Though they grieve you night and morning;
In the name of God above,
Give them just a little love.

Give them just a little love,
Touch their hands in friendly fashion,
Speak to them in kind compassion,
Tell them of the Heavenly City,
With its everlasting pity,
In the name of God above;
Give them just a little love.

Give them just a little love,
These poor creatures. On their faces
Sin and shame have left their traces.
Do not judge them. Kindly leave them
To the Christ who may receive them.
In the name of God above,
Give them just a little love.
