156. God Is Love: His Mercy Brigthens

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 Time 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 goodness prove;
From the gloom His brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly care entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Ev'rywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
