New Church Praise ‎#30

30. 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 mankind might know him.

[Refrain]:
Sing aloud, loud, loud!
Sing aloud, loud, loud!
God is good! God is truth!
God is beauty! Praise him!

2 None can see God above;
all have here man to love;
thus may we Godward move,
finding him in others,
holding all men brothers. [Refrain]

3 Jesus lived here for men,
strove and died, rose again,
rules our hearts, now as then;
for he came to save us
by the truth he gave us. [Refrain]

4 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]
