I cannot always trace the way
Where Thou, almighty One, dost move,
But I can always, always say
That God is love.
When fear her chilling mantle throws
O’er earth, my soul to heaven above,
As to her native home, upsprings,
For God is love.
When mystery clouds my darkened path,
I’ll check my dread, my doubts reprove;
In this my soul sweet comfort hath,
That God is love.
Oh may this truth my heart employ,
Bid every gloomy thought remove
And turn all tears, all woes, to joy,
Thou, God, art love.
---Alternative verses---
Yes, God is love;—a thought like this
Can every gloomy thought remove
And turn all tears, all woes, to bliss,
For God is love.
