God is love; his mercy brightens
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
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 cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from abovc;
Everywhere his glory shineth:
God is wisdom, God is love.
