Representative Text

1 List! The glad song, beautiful song,
God is love, God is love,
Hear the voices forever they tell,
Softly, gently, the echoes swell,
Whispering God is love,

Whispering God is love,
Whispering God is love.

3 Now the birds sing, joyfully sing,
God is love, God is love,
Hark the melody floateth away
On the wings of the morning gay,
Whispering God is love,
Whispering God is love.
