Text:	God is love; His mercy brightens
Author:	John Bowring
Tune:	STOCKWELL
Composer:	Darius E. Jones

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 gloom His brighness streameth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

Amen.
