“It is not hard to obey when we love the One Whom we obey.”  (Saint Ignatius)

Help us to love You, Father,
To love You in every way.
For if we love You sincerely,
How easy it is to obey.

It’s love of You, dear Father,
That helps us to love Your laws.
It’s by loving You and Your perfect will,
That we can love other souls without pause.

Help those we love, dear Father,
To love You in every way.
May they know Your love for them,
May it be You they love to obey.

In Your will is joy, dear Father.
In Your will is strength from above.
In Your will is peace and patience.
In Your will is truth and love.

May it be You we love, dear Father,
Your will we follow each day.
May it be You we honor and glorify.
May it be You Whom we obey.

As we discover Your love dear Father,
May love be what we learn.
As we receive Your love, dear Father.
May we love others in return.
