Verse 1

God is love; his mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens:
God is wisdom, God is love.
Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays and ages move;
But his mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.

Verse 2

E’en the hour the darkest seemeth
Will his changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom his brightness streameth:
God is wisdom, God is love.
He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere his glory shineth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

O Lord our God, many are the wonderful works which Thou hast done, and Thy thoughts which are to usward are thoughts of good and not of evil. And we bless Thee for the peaceful confidence we have that there is nothing in Thy heart or mind towards us but a Father’s pitying love. Strong in that confidence which we have learned from our elder Brother, and His unveiling of Thy heart, we draw near to Thee now, and seek that the flame, the immortal flame, of Thy love may kindle in our hearts some answering and kindred glow.
