“God is Love.”

By F. C. Castle

THE following lines were written some years ago by my sister, Lucretia M. Castle, who now sleeps in hope. They were composed before she made an open profession of faith in Christ. Hoping they may be acceptable to the reader, I furnish them to the public.
F. C. CASTLE.
Grass River, N. Y.
THE zephyrs sighing through the trees, With perfumes wafted on the breeze, The sun that shines so bright above, All speak to us that God is love.
The waving grass and fields of grain, Wide scattered o'er the broad domain, The birds that warble in the grove, Do all proclaim that God is love.
The moon's calm, placid light, so fair, The stars that brightly glimmer there, All seem like spirits from above, Aud all are speaking God is love.
The rainbow's tint, the lightning's glare, The tulip bright, and lily fair, On all we gaze wher'er we rove, All things declare that God is love.
The earth, the ocean, and the sky, And all things spread before the eye, With all things on the earth that move, Are ever speaking, God is love.
The Christian's prayer, the Christian's faith, The smile upon the face of death, These too do plainly to me prove There is a God, and God is love.
We see but dimly through the glass That hides us from the Saviour's face, But when we reach our home above, We there shall know that God is love.
