God Is Love: Let Heaven Adore Him

Author: Timothy Rees (1874-1939) Hymnal: The Worshipbook #386 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 God is love: let heaven adore him; God is love: let earth rejoice; Let creation sing before him, And exalt him with one voice. He who laid the earth's foundation, He who spread the heavens above, He who breathes through all creation, He is love, eternal love. 2 God is love: he is enfolding All the world in one embrace; With unfailing grasp he's holding Every child of every race. And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow's iron rod, All the sorrow, all the aching, Wrings with pain the heart of God. 3 God is love: and though with blindness Sin afflicts the souls of men, God's eternal loving-kindness Holds and guides them even then. Sin and death and hell shall never O'er us final triumph gain; God is love, so love forever O'er the universe must reign. Amen.
