I forgot to look and see how Peter Blood and Annie Patterson, editors of the Rise Again Songbook. I suggested "naught but love"....and they accepted it!

NOW I should contact Bill Staines and ask him what word he intended to put there. My mother the English teacher passed away ten years ago, but I'm sure she would agree that the rules of usage demand "naught" in this situation. I believe that Mom's grammatical infallibility passed on to me when she died....
