LyicsEARTH, 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.:||
