LyicsGod is love; his mercy brightens
All the path in which we move!
Bliss he grants, and woe he lightens;
God is light, and God is love.
Chance and change are busy ever;
Worlds decay and ages move;
But his mercy waneth never;
God is light, and God is love.
E'en the hour that darkest seemeth,
His unchanging goodness proves;
From the cloud his brightness streameth;
God is light, and God is love.
He our earthly cares entwineth
With his comforts from above:
Every-where his glory shineth;
God is light, and God is love.
