Recently we sang this line at Communion:
Love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be
Samuel Crossman's hymn, one of the first written in the English language, is full of poignant phrases of which this is perhaps the most profound. A threefold use of love which in summary describes the operation of the love of God on lost humanity.
Love is used in many ways in the lives of people and via the media, but never is it so wisely located as it is here.
