Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#181

181. God Is Love

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