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 wis­dom! God is love!

Chance and change are bu­sy ev­er;

Man de­cays and ag­es move;

But His mer­cy wan­eth nev­er:

God is wis­dom! God is love!

E’en the hour that dark­est seem­eth

Will His change­less good­ness prove;

From the mist His bright­ness stream­eth:

God is wis­dom! God is love!

He with earth­ly cares en­twin­eth

Hope and com­fort from above;

Everywhere His glo­ry shin­eth:

God is wis­dom! God is love!
