11782. God Is Love

1 God is Love, the Sun, dispelling
Darkness, doubt; how fast they flee!
Beam of glory, terror quelling,
Fall, fall on me.

Refrain:
Fall on me, fall on me,
Beam of glory, fall on me.

2 God is Love and Law united,
Mercy joined to just degree,
Mercy, tho’ His law I’ve slighted,
Fall, fall on me. [Refrain]

3 God is Love, to answer anguish,
Ah! His face I fain would see;
Eye of pity, as I languish,
Fall, fall on me. [Refrain]

4 God is Love and Life unending,
Was, and is, and e’er shall be;
Softly may His peace, descending,
Fall, fall on me. [Refrain]
