Text: | God is Love: His mercy brightens |
Author: | Sir John Bowring |
1 God is Love: His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
Will His changeless goodnees prove;
From the mist His brighness streameth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
