True, a face can light up
With the Spirit and power of God
Too, it can shine with love
When all malice towards others is gone
Love one another
And be lifted from the world
Fill your soul with light
Through the reading of God's word
Pray that God be a lamp
Ever to light your feet
Share His glad message to all
He places before you to meet
May your presence and kindness
Alleviate the pains of the distressed
Let your motives be righteous
And God's love for them be expressed
May a halo of glory
shine around your path
May others call you blessed
As charity, you have
Tose groaning in poverty
Those mired in trial
Those with temptations
Bring them hope to smile
Bear with the faults and errors
Let your hearts expand
Teach repentance, we're sinners
Help them seek God's hand
The enemies before your path
Offer but a soft answer
Turn away all of their wrath
Show them love is what you are after
Oh that we could swiftly lift them
And cast their sins behind our backs
That they might feel God's promise given
But each much travail their own paths
Smile and be of good cheer
Even when death is all around
The comforter draws near
That light and love more surround

Teachings of Joseph Smith
A person filled with the love of God is anxious to bless others.
“Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.”2
