178. God is Love

1 Let your love light shine like a mellow ray
In the eastern sky at the break of day;
Help some wand’rer on closer to the goal;
Speak a word of cheer to some weary soul.

Refrain:
God is love, God is love,
‘Tis an anthem eternal in the courts above;
God is love, God is love,
It will chase away the shadows,
For God is love.

2 Let your kind words fall like a summer rain;
Cheer the sad and lone, drive away their pain;
And forgive each one as our God forgave,
For He gave His Son you and me to save. [Refrain]

3 Let your love light shine everywhere you go,
From the break of dawn through the evening’s glow;
When the shades of night overtake your way,
Know that God’s love gives an eternal day. [Refrain]
