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 waning never:
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 Even the hour that darkest seeming,
will His changeless goodness prove;
from the mist His brightness streaming:
God is wisdom, God is love.
4 He with earthly cares entwining
hope and comfort from above;
everywhere His glory shining:
God is wisdom, God is love. Topics: God Through the Years His Providence Languages: English Tune Title: SUSSEX
