“God is love.” 1 John 4. 8, 16; Eph. 2. 4

1 Come, ye that know and fear the Lord,
  And lift 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;
  Jesus, the Gift of gifts appears,
  To show that God is love!

3 Behold his patience lengthened out,
  To those who from him rove;
  And calls effectual reach their hearts,
  To teach them God is love!

4 The work begun is carried on
  By power from heaven above;
  And every step, from first to last,
  Proclaims that God is love!

5 O may we all, while here below,
  This best of blessings prove;
  Till warmer hearts in brighter worlds,
  Shall shout that God is love!
