'God is love, His mercy brightens' (hymn) written by John Bowring

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 waning never:

God is wisdom, God is love.


Even the hour that darkest seeming,

Will His changeless goodness prove;

From the mist His brightness streaming:

God is wisdom, God is love.


He with earthly cares entwining 

Hope and comfort from above;

Everywhere His glory shining:

God is wisdom, God is love.
