hymns about loving well

I loved the last hymn on Sunday, sung along to the Londonderry Air, do check out the whole set of words if you get chance, but this is how it starts :)

Let love be real, in giving and receiving,
without the need to manage and to own;
a haven free from posing and pretending,
where every weakness may be safely known…
As God loves us, so let us love each other:
with no demands, just open hands and space to grow.
(Michael Forster’s Let love be real, in giving and receiving, StF 615)
In then trying to track it down on t'internet, I then came across this, which also looks good. There's a heap of great singing out there :)
