By Hymns and Poems. II. God is loveSir John Bowring (17921872)
G
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is wisdom! God is Love!
Man decays and ages move:
But His mercy waneth never:
God is wisdom! God is Love!
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the mist His brightness streameth:
God is wisdom! God is Love!
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is wisdom! God is Love!
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is wisdom! God is Love!
