In crime and enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die
Who say to us in slander's breath
That love belongs to sin and d**h
From heaven it came on angel's wing
To bloom on earth, eternal spring
In falsehood's enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die
Twas born upon an angel's breast
The softest dreams, the sweetest rest
The brightest sun, the bluest sky
Are love's own home and canopy
The thought that cheers this heart of mine
Is that of love; love so divine
They sin who say in slander's breath
That love belongs to sin and d**h
The sweetest voice that lips contain
The sweetest thought that leaves the brain
The sweetest feeling of the heart
There's pleasure in its very smart
The scent of rose and cinnamon
Is not like love remembered on
In falsehood's enmity they lie
Who sin and tell us love can die
