Now I want you to think of these things, and as we have been talking of the words,
God is Light,
God is Love,
I am going to copy for you a hymn, which speaks of them very beautifully; my children know it well, and often sing it.
"God in mercy sent His Son
To a world by sin undone.
Jesus Christ was crucified;
'Twas for sinners Jesus died.
Oh! the glory of the grace,
Shining in the Saviour's face,
Telling sinners from above,
'God is Light,' and 'God is Love.'
"Sin and death no more shall reign,
Jesus died and lives again!
In the glory's highest height—
See Him God's supreme delight.
Oh! the glory of the grace,
Shining in the Saviour's face,
Telling sinners from above,
'God is Light,' and 'God is Love.'
"All who on His name believe,
Everlasting life receive;
Lord of all is Jesus now,
Every knee to him must bow.
Oh! the glory of the grace,
Shining in the Saviour's face,
Telling sinners from above,
'God is Light,' and 'God is Love.'
"Christ the Lord will come again,
He who suffered once will reign;
Every tongue at last shall own,
'Worthy is the Lamb' alone.
Oh! the glory of the grace,
Shining in the Saviour's face,
Telling sinners from above,
'God is Light,' and 'God is Love.'"
