God is love.
Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
And raise your souls above;
Let every heart and voice accord
To sing that—God is love.
2 This precious truth his word declares,
And all his mercies prove;
While Christ, th’ atoning Lamb, appears,
To show that—God is love.
3 Behold his loving-kindness waits
For those who from him rove,
And calls for mercy reach their hearts,
To teach them—God is love.
4 O! may we all, while here below,
This best of blessings prove;
Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds,
Shall shout that—God is love.
G. Burder.
