1. 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.. 2. Chance and change are busy ever; Man decays, and ages move; But His mercy waneth never; God is wisdom, God is love. 3. Even the hour that darkest seemeth Will His changeless goodness prove; From the mist His brightness streameth, God is wisdom, God is love. 4. He with earthly care entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Everywhere His glory shineth; God is wisdom, God is love.
