Notes Music from sometime in the 19th Century
Lyrics God is love, His mercy brightens All the path in which we move; Bliss He forms and woe He lightens; God is light, and God is love. Chance and change are busy ever, Worlds decay, and ages move; But His mercy waneth never; God is light, and God is love. E'en with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Ev'rywhere His glory shineth; God is light, and God is love.
