1 Have you heard the whisper of the breeze?
God is love, God is love!
Have you heard the murm’ring of the trees,
Singing softly, sweetly, “God is love?”

Refrain:
Blessed song, echo on,
Glad message sound forever;
Ringing ‘neath the radiant skies above,
God is love, God is love!

2 Have you heard the birds’ exultant notes?
God is love, God is love!
Down from distant heights the carol floats,
Ringing gladly, clearly, “God is love!” [Refrain]

3 Have you heard the singing of the sea?
God is love, God is love!
Where the crested billows toss so free,
Telling, telling ever, “God is love!” [Refrain]
