God Is Love

1 God is love! the heavens tell it,
Stars above in brilliance spell it,
God is love! rejoice and sing my soul;
All the hills repeat its glory,
Rocks and rills sing out the story,
God is love! O let the music roll!
Hear it in the laughing wind that whispers through a tree,
Listen to its echo in a robin rhapsody;
Glorious word, all nature's ringing,
Have you heard the song they're singing?
God is love! O praise Him, God is love.

2 God is love! O truth transcendent,
Message of His Word resplendent,
God is love! Its pages all proclaim;
Christ the Lord, the great Creator—
Heav'n adored, became our Saviour,
Born on earth to bear our sin and shame.
But a waiting wand'ring world His grace and mercy scorns,
In a Roman judgment hall they crown Him King with thorns!
O what loss! all earth should note it,
At the cross in blood He wrote it;
God is love! O hear it, God is love!
