LyicsEarth, with her ten thousand flowers,
Air, with all its beams and showers,
Ocean's infinite expanse,
Heaven's resplendent countenance;
All around, and all above,
Hath this record--God is love.
Sounds among the vales and hills,
In the woods, an by the rills,
Of the breeze, and of the bird,
By the gentle murmur stirred:
All these songs, beneath, above,
Have one burden--God is love.
All the hopes and fears that start
Form the fountain of the heart,
All the quiet bliss that lies
In our human sympathies:
These are voices from above,
Sweelty whispering, God is love.
