1 Love is needed, love is needed, just a little more of love,
Like the love that brought our Savior from his throne of light above;
For this weary world is stricken and it bears a weight of woe;
And a little more of heav’nly love is needed here below.

Refrain:
Love, pure love is needed here below,
Love, sweet love would banish much of woe,
Love, great love, like Jesus came to show,
Such love would make this weary world a blissful heaven here below.

2 Love is needed, love is needed, for there is so much of grief,
And the days of joy and sunshine are so very few and brief;
And the sorrows are so heavy for the weary world to bear,
That a little more of tender love is needed everywhere. [Refrain]

3 Love is needed, love is needed, such a love as will forgive;
Such a love as makes it easy for some weary soul to live;
Such a love as points to heaven; and a little love is due
To the world so sad and weary, oh, my Christian friend, from you. [Refrain]
