Tune:[God is love; His mercy brightens]
Composer:Geo. C. Stebbins

211. 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 light, and God is love.

Refrain:
God is light, and God is love;
God is light, and God is love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is light, and God is love. [Refrain]

3 E’en the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom His brightness streameth:
God is light, and God is love. [Refrain]
