First Line: God is love ! His mercy brightens,

God is love ! His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove ;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens;
God is light, and God is love !

God is light, and God is love !
God is light, and God is love I

2 Chance and change are busy ever ;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is light, and God is love !

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom His brightness streameth ;
God is light, and God is love !
