Allow Your Heart To Love

R-emain or stay in love, 
E-vade the risk of anger; 
Z-ealously turn the hate
I-nto amity, not rancor.
E-arly sixteenth of August, let your devotion grow; 
L-et it not fade away, despite the pain and sorrow.

A-llow your heart to love, 
N-ever let it beat with envy; 
N-either let it feel bitter, nor let it show enmity.

T-o be solicitous is to think
O-f the Lord God above; 
T-ry to be always tender, 
A-llow your heart to
L-ove.
