Author: | Sir John Bowring |
Tune: | STUTTGART |
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 Even the hour that darkest seemeth
Will His changeless goodness prove:
From the gloom 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.
