Lyrics:

1. God is love ! His mercy brightens
(God is love! Yes, God is love! His mercy brightens, mercy brightens)
All the path in which we rove ;
(All the path; yes, all the path in which we rove, in which we rove)
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens;
(Bliss He wakes; yes, bliss He wakes and woe He lightens, woe He lightens)
God is light, and God is love !
(God is light; yes, God is light, and God is love, and God is love!)

God is light, and God is love !
(God is light; yes, God is light, and God is love, and God is love! yes)
God is light, and God is love
(God is light; yes, God is light, and God is love, and God is love!)

2. Chance and change are busy ever ;
(Chance and change, yes, chance and change are busy ever, busy ever;)
Man decays, and ages move;
(Man decays; yes, man decays, and ages move, and ages move;)
But His mercy waneth never;
(But His mercy, but His mercy, waneth never, waneth never;)
God is light, and God is love !
(God is light; yes, God is light, and God is love, and God is love)

3. E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
(E’en the hour; yes, e’en the hour that darkest seemeth, darkest seemeth)
Will His changeless goodness prove;
(Will His changeless, will His changeless, goodness prove, His goodness prove)
From the gloom His brightness streameth ;
(From the gloom, yes, from the gloom His brightness streameth, brightness streameth;)
God is light, and God is love !
(God is light; yes, God is light, and God is love and God is love)
