Tune:[God is love, his mercy brightens]
Composer:E. S. Carter

59. Love 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 wisdom, God is love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever,
Man decays, and ages move;
But his mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.

3 Ev'n the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will his changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom his brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Ev'rywhere his glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love.
