The Law of Love is taken from a collection of songs called The Prophets Songbook which contains 17 songs of our modern-day prophets and themes from their presidency. This song was written to hightlight a teaching of President George Albert Smith.
Hard times and a world ward brought sorrow into the hearts of the people when the Lord called George Albert Smith to lead His Church. He was a man whose love for others had been forged through many years of afflliction; a man who had committed himself to the Lord through long nights of prayer and service to others.



Lyrics: I'll live the law of love;
Love neighbors as myself.
I will live this royal law,
Love God above all else.
For God so loved the world,
He sent His Only Son.
When I learn to be like Them,
I will love everyone.
The law of love will lift the world we know;
When I live this law
It is Their love I will show.
I'll live the law of love;
Help and serve all I can.
Love the Lord with all my heart,
And love my fellow man.
This is the Father's plan.
