Hallowed Hymns, New and Old ‎#91

91. 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.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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. [Chorus]
