God is Love, Let Heaven Adore Him
Timothy Rees (1922) • English
Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:9
Verse 1
God is Love, let heav'n adore him; God is Love, let earth rejoice; Let creation sing before him And exalt him with one voice. God who laid the earth's foundation, God who spread the heav'ns above, God who breathes through all creation: God is Love, eternal Love.
Verse 2
God is Love; and love enfolds us, All the world in one embrace: With unfailing grasp God hold us, Ev'ry child of ev'ry race. And when human hearts are breaking Under sorrow's iron rod, Then we find that selfsame aching Deep within the heart of God.
Verse 3
God is Love; and though with blindness Sin afflicts all human life, God's eternal loving kindness Guides us through our earthly strife. Sin and death and hell shall never O'er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever O'er the universe must reign.
