LyicsGod is love; his mercy brightens
All the path in which we move;
Bliss he grants, and wo 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 seemet,
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;
Everywhere his glory shineth;
God is light, and God is love.
