LyicsAs lightly and sweetly we tread
The rose scatter'd pathway of youth,
We triumph that o'er us is spread
The banner of mercy and truth:
We'll pour forth our praises, that
He Who liveth and reigneth above
For ever our guardian will be,
That God, our Creator, is love.
We know that his kindness and care
All parts of creation embrace,
That we shall especially share
The gifts of his infinite grace:
To him our thanksgivings ascend:
His blessings unlimited prove
That he is our Father and friend,
That God, our Preserver, is love.
His love he reveal'd in his Son,
Whose mercy no bounds every knew:
We'll praise him for all he has done
And all he has promised to do.
In feeling, in deed, and in word,
Be govern'd by grace from above,
And always rejoice in the Lord,
For God, our Redeemer, is love.
