LyicsI can not always trace the way
Where thou, almighty One, dost move;
But I can always, always say,
That God is love.
When fear her chilling mantle flings
O'er earth, my soul to heaven above,
As to her native home, upsprings;
For God is love.
When myst'ry clouds my darkened path,
I'll check my dread, my doubts reprove;
In this my soul sweet comfort hath,
That God is love.
O may this truth my heart employ,
And every gloomy thought remove;
It fills my soul with boundless joy,
That God is love!
