Lyics

EARTH, with her ten thousand flow'rs,

Air, with all its beams and show'rs,

Ocean's infinite expanse,

Heav'n's resplendent countenance,

||:All around, and all above,

Hath this record--God is love.:||



Sounds among the vales and hills,

In the woods, and by the rills,

Of the breeze, and of the bird,

By the gentle murmur stirr'd:

||:All these songs, beneath, above,

Have one burden--God is love.:||



All the hopes and fears that start

From the fountain of the heart,

All the quiet bliss that lies

In our human sympathies:

||:These are voices from above,

Sweetly whisp'ring, God is love.:||
