Peace of Jesus
I was leafing through the 1956/1966 RLDS The Hymnal, wondering anew at the bold deletion of No. 580 (Come, Come, Ye Saints) in 1958, and on a whim decided to visit their website and look for hymns or hymnals. Found this nice piece set to NETTLETON: Peace of Jesus, by Danny A. Belrose, © 2005 CofCCCorp. Into my wish hymnal it goes...

Belovèd, let us love
This is a nice little Horatius Bonar piece, based on 1 John. TCH has 5 verses, and three tunes.
I definitely want this in my hymnal—it first appeared in a Baptist hymnal (Supplement of the Baptist Psalms and Hymns, 1880), according to TCH, and I am sorry it has fallen from our denominational repertoire—but I am not sure what tune to use. I'll be trying out those in TCH (GLOVERNIA, GRANDPONT, DENNIS (Thalben-Ball), the last two also in CSH) but I wonder what tune (if any) it had in the Baptist Supplement of 1880, and I am open to other suggestions in 10.10 or 6.4.6.4.
Belovèd, let us love: love is of God;
In God alone hath love its true abode.Belovèd, let us love: for they who love,
They only, are His sons, born from aboveBelovèd, let us love: for love is rest,
And he who loveth not abides unblest.Belovèd, let us love: for love is light,
And he who loveth not dwelleth in night.Belovèd, let us love: for only thus
Shall we behold that God Who loveth us.
