311. God is love — his the care

1 God is love — his the care,
tending each, everywhere;
God is love — all is there!
Jesus came to show him,
that we all might know him:

Refrain:
Sing aloud, loud, loud;
sing aloud, loud, loud:
God is good,
God is truth,
God is beauty — praise him!

2 Jesus shared all our pain,
lived and died, rose again,
rules our hearts, now as then —
for he came to save us
by the truth he gave us: [Refrain]

3 To our Lord praise we sing —
light and life, friend and king,
coming down love to bring,
pattern for our duty,
showing God in beauty: [Refrain]
