GOD IS LIGHT, GOD IS LOVE.
CREATION declares it,—the grass, trees, and flowers,
Proclaimed by the sunshine, by generous showers;
Proclaimed by the still, restful darkness of night,
By the sun, moon, and stars,—the fountains of light,
By the fish of the sea, by beasts of the wood,
By the birds of the bowers,—He giveth them food,—
By the insects that flit in the breezes that blow,
By the wind and the rain, by the white, drifting snow,—
By all nature below, by all nature above,
The anthem is sung, God is light, God is love. By the gift of the earth,—the home of mankind,—
By the law of his love, man's actions to bind;
By his mercy that bought us to save us from sin,
By the Price that he paid, man's heart-love to win,—
The life of our Lord,—by the pure words of life;
By the angels of light,—our aids in the strife,—
By his Spirit of power our hearts to make strong,
By all blessings which strew our pathway along,
By the sure promised life, by the bright home above,
'Tis the song and refrain, God is light, GOD IS LOVE.
