God is love! His word had said it;
This is news of heavenly birth:
Speed abroad and widely spread it,
Make it known through all the earth
That God is love.
Not in yonder bless�d regions,
Where the Lord, with glory crowned,
Reigns amid angelic legions,
Will the brightest proof be found
That God is love.
�Tis on earth the Lord discloses
All His love, how vast it is;
Earth�s the favoured spot He chooses
To display the truth of this,
That God is love.
�Tis that Man of sorrows yonder
Object of contempt beneath,
But in heaven, of highest wonder,
Teaches fully by His death
That God is love.
His a throne, the throne of heaven,
Yet He comes on earth to bleed,
And for man His life is given;
This is what declares indeed
That God is love.
Not for those who ever loved Him
Did the Lord of glory die;
Pity to the wretched moved Him:
Who that hears it will deny
That God is love?
�Tis a truth: away and spread it;
Spread the tidings far and near;
O may sinners give it credit,
And be joyful when they hear
That God is love.
