God is love

Stay with us, stay with our bright band, Where there is singing and joy; Let not too quickly the sweet hours Our happy meeting destroy. Tune Title: [Phoebus, with reins gathered firmly]

The earth is sweet, but time is fleet, Then let us love the truths above, That makes us happy, That makes us happy, That makes us happy, glad and free. Tune Title: [The sun is bright, its golden light]
